In France there are no tv campaign ads. There are no lawn signs. There are no bumper stickers or truck flags. Presidential campaigns last 100 days. There’s a voting station for every maximum 1000 voters. Votes are papers slipped into an envelope & placed in an urn & hand counted.
Elections are held on Sundays. Every vote carries equal weight.
Most of what trump says - the lies, libel, slander - is illegal.
Yes, there is a media and polling blackout (including no exit polls) for the 24 hours before polls close - from Saturday night until every polling station closes Sunday night. To avoid undo influence.

Thank you @GlobalisedMinds
Presidential campaigns are limited to 100 days.
Transition is immediate. As soon as the election results are verified, the transition happens and the French have a new President.
