President Emmanuel Macron's bloc has come out on top in most of the 11 constituencies of French voters overseas who went to the polls on Sunday, ahead of the rest of France. The left posed a stronger challenge than in 2017, however, while former prime minister Manuel Valls, backed by Macron's party, was knocked out.
Eleven out of the 577 seats in parliament are reserved for geographical zones where French citizens live abroad, such as one for those in Canada and the United States and another for Central and Eastern Europe.
