Parties campaigning during Egypt's voting face criminal charges: Electoral commission chief
Published in Ahram Online on 29 - 11 - 2011

The chairman of the Supreme Judicial Electoral Commission points out some of the complaints and says expat voting will be revealed along with the final, decisive results
The Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Electoral Commission said the high voter turnout reveals the peoples' trust in the judiciary and that elections are going well.
In an interview with the television channel, Nile News today, the electoral commission's chairman, Abdel Moez Ibrahim, said that the electoral process is proceeding smoothly today, the second day of the first phase of parliamentary elections.
Most of the complaints, says the judge, were regarding the short polling hours after some stations opened later than scheduled yesterday. Voters requested an extension of time to compensate.
The chairman warned that political parties who do not stop distributing campaign flyers will be investigated and will face criminal charges.
Ibrahim assured that polling stations will not close until the last voter has cast their ballot today; adding that results for the single votes will be announced Wednesday.
The results of votes from Egyptians living abroad will be announced with the final outcome of the elections, he reiterated, adding that embassies have sent their votes to Egypt.
