260,000 French nationals in Montreal vote in France's first round of parliamentary elections, amid rising far-right party support.

Large numbers of French nationals in Montreal are expected to vote in the first round of France's parliamentary elections amid a surge in far-right party support. With 260,000 French citizens in Quebec, 200,000 of whom live in Montreal, the French electoral system allows them to elect a deputy to the National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This historic election may see the far-right National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen take power, which has led to increased voter turnout among French nationals in Montreal.
