| François Hollande has won the presidency of France, turning the tide on a rightward and xenophobic lurch in European politics and vowing to transform Europe's handling of the economic crisis by fighting back against German-led austerity measures. | François Hollande has won the presidency of France, turning the tide on a rightward and xenophobic lurch in European politics and vowing to transform Europe's handling of the economic crisis by fighting back against German-led austerity measures. |
| We collected the results from the French Ministry of the Interior here, but there was also some brilliant work going on from groups like Regards Citoyens, which was running an open data hack on the election. | We collected the results from the French Ministry of the Interior here, but there was also some brilliant work going on from groups like Regards Citoyens, which was running an open data hack on the election. |

| The turnout was startlingly high, especially compared to the low numbers seen in the UK local elections last week. The median turnout was 82.3%,, and that umber would be higher, but for the lower figures in France's overseas territories. Saint-Martin/Saint-Barthelemy, for instance, saw the lowest figure of any departments - only 43.68%. By contrast, the highest figure was in the Lot, where it was 86.62%. | The turnout was startlingly high, especially compared to the low numbers seen in the UK local elections last week.

| The highest votes for Hollande, besides the overseas territories, were in regions like Correze, Ariege and Haute Vienne, in the south west of France - and Paris, of course, which has been overwhelmingly Hollande in both rounds. | |
| Sarkozy's strongholds, were instead in the south and east of the country, places along the Rhine and on the Alps - there he consistently won over 60% of the vote. | Sarkozy's strongholds, were instead in the south and east of the country, places along the Rhine and on the Alps - there he consistently won over 60% of the vote. |
| Of the 43 départements where over 20% had voted for Marine Le Pen in round one, 26, perhaps unsurprisingly, went for Sarkozy. But the other 17 voted for Hollande and his 'change' theme. In Gard, which was the only place to give Marine Le Pen a majority in round one, Sarkozy won the popular vote this time, but it was tight: 51.2% to 48.8%. | Of the 43 départements where over 20% had voted for Marine Le Pen in round one, 26, perhaps unsurprisingly, went for Sarkozy.

| We also looked at swing to each candidate, comparing their vote to the poll in round one. Obviously, with only two candidates in this round, the numbers are all big - but we thought it might be interesting to see where the biggest swings happened. Sarkozy's biggest change was in Vaucluse, where his vote increased by 96.6%. However, Hollande saw his vote increase by over 90% in eight départements. | We also looked at swing to each candidate, comparing their vote to the poll in round one.
