The second round contest pits centrist Emmanuel Macron, a 39-year-old former investment banker, against the far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen, 48.

Voter turnout was 28.2% by 12:00 local time (10:00 GMT), down on that of the past two presidential elections.

The vote is being closely watched across Europe, as the results could affect the future of the EU.

Polling opened at 08:00 local time (06:00 GMT) and the final stations close at 20:00 (18:00 GMT), with early estimates of the result set to be reported immediately after.
