Live updates: Voting begins in Egypt''s second day of presidential runoffs
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 17 - 06 - 2012

Polling stations have opened on Sunday in the second day of the presidential runoffs, where the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsy is contesting with former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq over the top executive post in the country. Voting is taking place in 13,101 polling stations across the country under full judicial supervision and security measures provided by both the police and the army. The first day of the runoffs witnessed scattered violations and minor incidents of violence. A lower than expected voters' turnout was reported by the Presidential Elections Commission. Vote counting is expected to begin after the polls close on Sunday night, while the official and final results are to be announced on 21 June.
9:00 am: Voters started flocking to the polling stations of the Shubra neighborhood, which has a high population of Christian Copts. Campaigning by both Shafiq and Morsy's supporters was witnessed by Al-Masry Al-Youm next to some of the Shubra polling stations. Morsy's supporters were distributing campaigning pamphlets a few meters away from some polling stations, while in others, campaign members set up working stations with laptops to help voters identify their voting spots.
In the East Cairo neighborhood of Nasr City, voters also started to reach polling stations. Army officers securing the voting process in the area removed campaign posters that were hung next to the polling stations. In Heliopolis, also East of Cairo, a slow morning is manifested by a low turnout in different polling stations.
There are more than 6 million eligible voters in Cairo.
