Arcom noted that the France 2 channel had indicated on Sunday April 24, 2022 at around 9:10 pm that, based on the count carried out by the Ministry of the Interior at that time, 14.2 million votes were attributed to Mr. Emmanuel Macron and 14.4 million votes to Ms. Marine Le Pen. However, the figures communicated by the Ministry of the Interior at the same time did not correspond to those presented on air.

The Authority summoned the channel to the utmost vigilance in this matter and to ensure the accuracy of the figures communicated during future election evenings, in accordance with the requirements of honesty and rigor in the presentation and processing of information set by article 1 of the deliberation of April 18, 2018 relating to the honesty and independence of information and the programs that contribute to it and by article 35 of the decree of June 23, 2009 setting the specifications of the national program company France Télévisions.
