The government has set the dates for the 2027 presidential election. The two rounds will take place on Sundays April 18 and May 2.

The calendar was chosen from two options and will be officialized Wednesday in the Council of Ministers. The Constitution required that the second round occur before May 14, 2027 at midnight.

The government selected the later date after considering April 11 and 25. This decision accounts for the constitutional constraints tied to the end of Emmanuel Macron's term.

The dates coincide with school holidays, running from April 3 to May 3, 2027. This could affect turnout due to voters traveling.
