Polling stations are starting to close across France and first estimates for the results of the legislative election will be announced at 8 p.m.
In the first round, the far-right National Rally (RN) and its allies finished far ahead of their competitors, securing a third of the vote, followed by the left-wing New Popular Front alliance with 28.6 percent and the pro-Macron coalition with 20.9 percent.
The high-stakes context has led voters to the polls and turnout is expected to reach a 25-year peak.
Many scenarios are on the table, from a far-right win to a hung parliament and results from key electoral districts could come down to the finest of margins and be revealed only later in the night.
Stay tuned for updates.
