On Thursday, 1 July 2027, Marine Le Pen was declared the winner of the 2027 French Presidential election. The result followed the second-round vote held after the first round on 18 April. Le Pen's victory ended the contest that had featured several high-profile candidates.

The final ballot featured Marine Le Pen and her opponent from the second round, while Jordan Bardella failed to reach that stage.
