Polling stations open across mainland France for a second round parliamentary vote that is expected to be won by far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN).
While the anti-immigration, eurosceptic party may not win an outright majority, a hung parliament would leave a divided France in political limbo and weaken its international standing.
Voting was to continue to 6 p.m. local time, or 8 p.m. in major cities, when voting estimates will be released.
