    Polling hours are set by the convocation decree, not yet published. 2022 precedent (Décret n° 2022-66): 08:00-19:00 local, extendable by prefects to 20:00 at the latest. On 2 May 2027 metropolitan France is on CEST (UTC+2): last close 20:00 CEST, 18:00 UTC. The Ministry of the Interior publishes provisional results from the close. The window closes at the departmental counting deadline, 'au plus tard le lundi qui suit le scrutin, à minuit' (Décret 2001-213 art. 28); that end is an ESTIMATE of when the provisional count is complete. Provisional, not the proclaimed result.

    Constitution art. 58: the Conseil constitutionnel 'proclame les résultats du scrutin'. Décret 2001-213 art. 29: the Council proclaims the result of the whole election 'dans les dix jours qui suivent le scrutin' in which a candidate won an absolute majority, i.e. by 12 May 2027; the window closes at the end of that day, CEST. The opening is an ESTIMATED floor: departmental counts are due by Monday midnight (art. 28). 2022 precedent: Décision n° 2022-197 PDR, proclaiming the result, was made public on Wed 27 Apr 2022, three days after the 24 Apr runoff. Candidates may refer the election to the Council within 48 hours of the close (art. 30); the Council rules on those claims before it proclaims, so there is no separate court stage. The outgoing president's term ends on 13 May 2027 (Décision 2022-197 PDR: the term began on 14 May 2022 at 00:00).
