Voting took place Thursday and Friday on a few dozen of these outer islands, mainly for employees of hotels or the island management authority, who attended pop-up polling stations with election material carried by plane or boat. Some on the main islands deemed essential workers, such as hospital and nursing staff, also voted Thursday.

The main opposition parties did not manage to unite and Faure — who was not elected but took over after his predecessor James Michel resigned — faces two challengers.
