Chairman of Technical Office of the Supreme Electoral Committee Youssry Abdul Karim said the high voter turnout means the sorting of votes is still ongoing. There are polling stations still unfinished with counting the votes. The announcement of results was postponed until all the votes are counted. Votes by Egyptians abroad reached 335,000 in total during the first phase of elections and registered in the existing database of the Supreme Electoral Committee, he said in a phone interview with broadcaster Sherif Amer on al-Hayat al-Youm TV program.
