French voter turnout slightly lower than the last election

The latest turnout numbers
The Interior Ministry says that at 5 pm local time, election turnout was at 69.42% compared to 70.42% at the same time in 2012.
That may understate things because polls in the cities are open an extra hour this year. The general thinking is that higher turnout would benefit the more-extreme candidates.
