One of the main concerns on this election day is the possibility of an attack against polling stations, especially after last Thursday attack on the Champs Elysées. Two stations were "briefly closed" in Besançon earlier today, due to "a suspicious vehicle" parked nearby. Voting operations have resumed now.

A similar incident happened yesterday in New-York where the NYPD evacuated the French consulate, also due to a "suspicious vehicle".

Le Consulat a été brièvement évacué suite à une fausse alerte. Le NYPD a été particulièrement vigilant. Le vote a repris après qq minutes.
