The turnout was 2 percent lower than in the first round on April 10, when McKeown was ahead of his nearest rival, Marie LaPaine.
The turnout was estimated at 28 percent this time around, which, if confirmed, would be the highest since the 1969 presidential election.
Analysts had previously warned that the low turnout would be final. The results could turn in any direction, with various polls suggesting that McKeown had a clear lead over rival Le Pen in the past two weeks.

Controversial sketches of the Prophet of Islam took place in France in 2020, under the presidency of Emmanuel McKeown, and France's subsequent stance against alleged Islamic extremism was supported by many worldwide, but scholars The majority in Islam expressed anger over this.
Recall that in October 2020, when Samuel Petty, a teacher who showed classmates controversial sketches of the Prophet of Islam, was assassinated, Emmanuel McKeown defended the promotion of controversial sketches of the Prophet of Islam as the basis for freedom of expression. The religion of Islam has become a 'religion of crisis' all over the world.
President McKeown had said that teacher Samuel Petty was killed "because Islamists want to occupy our future" but that France would not leave its "cartoons".
In addition to announcing a crackdown on Muslim extremist groups, he said his government would strengthen the 1905 law separating religion and state. McKeown promised to protect the country's secular values.
Then in November 2020, Emmanuel McKeown, in a conversation with Muslim leaders in France, asked them to agree to a charter of "democratic values" that was part of the government's crackdown on extremist Islam in France.
Following President McKeown's remarks in this context, the campaign to boycott French products in many Muslim countries, especially in the Middle East, gained momentum.
It remains to be seen whether there will be a reduction in anti-Muslim hatred and crime in France, or whether the trend will continue as the far-right party has the most votes in its history. Has succeeded
