After electing a new President in May, French citizens head to the polls again on Sunday for Parliamentary elections. Over 6,000 candidates are competing to win just 577 seats in the Parliament. It promises to be an exciting contest and, as with the Presidential election, you can follow all the action on our special politics and elections website, www.google.fr/elections .
Built together with French news agency AFP (Agence France Presse), the site gives easy access to up-to-the-minute information about the election. You can sort news and videos from Google News and YouTube by political party or specific campaign theme - and interact directly with with political parties via their Google+ pages.
Throughout Sunday evening, a special Google Map will show the results of the first round of voting. The results will be displayed live, as they are published by the Ministry of the Interior, across all of France’s 577 electoral districts.
The French website is the latest edition of our Politics and Election platform, which has so far been rolled out in the US , Mexico , Egypt and Senegal in an effort to give internet users easier access to information about elections.
See you Sunday, and as we say in French: bonne navigation!
