Alexandria's third electoral district today saw unprecedented turnout this morning as large contingents of voters arrived early to participate in voting. The public committees of some Islamic movements came early to organize traffic flow and organize members of their respective committees. The doors were opened to voters at 8:45 a.m. because the monitoring judges were late. The Egyptian Interior Ministry in coordination with the military police managed to control the security situation near the polling station. Meanwhile campaigns worked intensely near the committees in the last moments before balloting began.
