That bombshell followed a humbling defeat by the far-right National Rally party in the European Parliament election.The ministry said the number is 6\u00bd times more than it registered for the same weeklong period in the last legislative election in 2022.The rush by voters to complete paperwork that will allow other people they trust to cast ballots for them in the first stage on June 30 of the two-round election is partly because of time pressures. Macron\u2019s surprise decision and the compressed time frame between parliament\u2019s dissolution and the election caught voters off guard, with some already having made other plans. <\/p>\n<p>The election \u2014 the decisive second round is July 7 \u2014 also bumps up against the start of France\u2019s annual summer vacation season, when millions head to beaches and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The surge in registrations by likely absentee voters also reflects the importance they are attaching to the election, which is already reshaping the French political landscape even before ballots are cast.<\/p>\n<p>    Over 50 countries go to the polls in 2024<\/p>\n<p>The prospect that the vote could produce France\u2019s first far-right government since the Nazi occupation in World War II had a shocking effect on the National Rally\u2019s opponents on the left of French politics. Within days of Macron\u2019s announcement, parties on the left that were previously divided put differences aside to form a coalition to counter the far-right\u2019s surge. <\/p>\n<p>With frenzied campaigning now underway, voters are already preparing to make their choice between the two opposing camps \u2014 or Macron\u2019s centrist bloc in the middle. <\/p>\n<p>R\u00e9mi Lefebvre, a professor of political science at Lille University, said on broadcaster France Info that voters who make arrangements for others to cast ballots for them tend to be politically engaged and well-informed. That hundreds of thousands have done so suggests that they view the election as \u201cabsolutely decisive in their personal agendas and in political life,\u201d he said. The stakes are \u201cvery high,\u201d Lefebvre added, \u201cbecause of the perspective of victory by the extreme right, so that incites electors to vote.\u201d Jordan Bardella, the National Rally president hoping to become France\u2019s prime minister, appealed Tuesday to voters to hand his party a clear majority.\u201cThere is an historical opportunity to turn the tide of history, to change the policy in our country and change course. But in order to do so, I need to have an absolute majority,\u201d he said in a broadcast interview with CNews.___Catherine Gaschka contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p>  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {<br \/>\n      FB.init({<\/p>\n<p>              appId : &#8216;870613919693099&#8217;,<\/p>\n<p>          xfbml : true,<br \/>\n          version : &#8216;v2.9&#8217;<br \/>\n      });<br \/>\n  };<\/p>\n<p>  (function(d, s, id){<br \/>\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br \/>\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br \/>\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br \/>\n     js.src = &#8220;https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js&#8221;;<br \/>\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br \/>\n   }(document, &#8216;script&#8217;, &#8216;facebook-jssdk&#8217;));<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic PARIS (AP) \u2014 Voters who don\u2019t expect to be able to cast ballots themselves are scrambling to make their voices heard in France\u2019s high-stakes legislative election by signing up in their hundreds of thousands to hand their voting rights to loved ones and friends.The<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":129485,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-129484","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129484"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":129486,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129484\/revisions\/129486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
