Montrealers line up to cast votes in French presidential election
MONTREAL — French citizens are lining up in Montreal to cast their votes in what is expected to be a very tight presidential election.
By mid-morning, about 100 citizens were standing in line at a voting station in Montreal’s Outremont borough, with many saying they waited over an hour to vote.
The French Embassy in Canada says more than 57,000 French nationals are registered to vote in the Montreal area.
The high numbers could be because the election outcome is far from certain, with four candidates having a shot at reaching a second round.
