Polls open for round one of France's parliamentary election

PARIS: Polling stations opened on Sunday for the first round of France's parliamentary election tipped to give new Socialist President Francois Hollande a majority to push through his reforms.

Final opinion polls before Sunday's vote predicted the Socialists would not see a landslide victory but would, with their Green and hard-left allies, emerge with a narrow but workable majority.
