STORYLINE:
French voters cast their ballots in the European elections on Sunday morning as polls opened in Paris.

Polls opened in 20 EU countries early Sunday for the June 6-9 elections for a new European Parliament, the legislative branch of the 27-member bloc.

Hundreds of millions of Europeans have been casting their ballots this week in one of the biggest global democratic events.

Far-right parties are looking to gain more power amid a rise in the cost of living and farmers’ discontent, while the wars in Gaza and Ukraine are also key topics weighing on the minds of voters.

The economy, jobs, poverty and social exclusion, public health, climate change and the future of Europe are also prominent issues.

Official results are not expected before the last polling stations in all 27 EU nations close late Sunday.
