22:25As expected, vote counting in sevreal polling stations across Egypt indicated that the 'yes' vote would comprise the vast majority of ballot papers. Below are several examples. -El-Shahid Hosni Abdel Bari School in Upper Egypt's Qena governorate: Yes: 1114 No: 14 Turnout: 1138 -Polling station number 15 in El-Edwa Village in Nile Delta's Sharqiya governorate: Yes: 217 No: 19 Turnout: 239 -Gabal El-Nour Elementary School in Upper Egypt's Beni Suefgovernorate: Yes: 667 No: 5 Turnout: 674 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ahram Online's live coverage of the vote counting for Egypt's 2014 constitutional referendum. Egyptians headed to polling stations on Tuesday and Wednesday to vote on a newly-amended national charter, which improves upon the 2012 version that was frozen upon the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. As expected, vote counting began right after the end of polling at 9pm CMT on Wednesday. It is widely assumed that the "yes" vote in favour of the constitution will comprise the majority of ballots, given that most of the groups which objected to the referendum, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, announced a boycott and abstained from voting. A festive atmosphere reigned at most polling stations across the country over the two-day referendum, with voters chanting both for the draft constitution and popular army chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi. Below is a list of the governorates that voted in the referendum. Results are expected to unfold in the coming hours.
