STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macron cast his ballot in parliamentary elections on Sunday as he seeks to secure his majority while under growing threat from a leftist coalition.
Following his reelection in May, Macron's centrist coalition is seeking an absolute majority that would enable it to implement his campaign promises, which include tax cuts and raising the retirement age from 62 to 65.
But the latest opinion polls suggest Macron and his allies may have trouble winning over half of the parliamentary seats.
A government with a large, but not absolute majority would still be able to rule, but only by bargaining with legislators.
The main opposition force appears to be a newly-created coalition made up of leftists, greens and communists led by hard-left figure Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
More than 6,000 candidates, ranging in age from 18 to 92, are running for 577 seats in the National Assembly in the first round of the election.
Those who receive the most votes will advance to the decisive second round on June 19.
