All the commentators are comparing the noon participation with the first round in 2002, but I wonder about the second round in 2002, which had an actually high participation...

I was looking for the noon figures for comparison purposes. But didn't find them. Journalists have access to these figures, but it seems they don't think of that...

 A 12 heures, le taux de participation au premier tour de l'élection présidentielle était supérieur de 10 points à celui de 2002.

Le taux de participation au premier tour de l'élection présidentielle s'établissait à 31,21% à 12 heures, soit le chiffre le plus important depuis l'élection présidentielle de 1981 et dix points de plus qu'en 2002, rapporte le ministère de l'Intérieur.

Ce chiffre de participation à la mi-journée au premier tour de la présidentielle avait baissé depuis 26 ans, passant de 25,9% (1981) à 27,1% (1988) puis 23% (1995) et 21,4% en 2002.

Un nombre record de 44,5 millions d'électeurs est appelé aux urnes, dont 3,3 millions d'inscrits supplémentaires par rapport à 2002.

And it's higher participation today with more voters on the lists (and end of school holidays today).

Just heard that 1965 / 1969 / 1974 elections didn't have mid-day statistics, they started in 1981.
