Voting got underway in mainland France on Sunday (30 June) in the first round of snap parliamentary elections, with Marine Le Pen's anti-immigrant and eurosceptic far-right party eyeing power in a historic first.
Polling stations opened at 8:00 am (0600 GMT), after voters in France's overseas territories cast ballots earlier in the weekend.
