The political rights law organizes the transfer of ballot boxes to prevent vote manipulation, said Gen. Mamdouh Shahin, a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). “The decision to extend the voting period to two days will not affect the integrity of the electoral process,” he added. “The law sets clear procedures to prevent fraud and manipulation with ballot boxes,” he continued. “The boxes are sealed with red wax at the end of the day in the presence of representatives, then the box is secured in a room guarded by the army and police.” “Representatives from campaigns are allowed to stay overnight in front of the room where the ballots are held,” he added.
