Egyptians to vote in 2nd phase of parliamentary elections tomorrow
Published in Youm7 on 13 - 12 - 2011

CAIRO: Egyptians from the nine governorates of Giza, Sharqia, Menoufia, Suez, Beheira, Beni Suef, Aswan and Sohag will be voting in the parliamentary election's second phase tomorrow.
The number of eligible voters, who are 18 or above, in the two day second phase is 18.6 million citizens, according to the Egyptian Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics.
In Giza, Egypt's second major governorate after Cairo, 4.1 million citizens are eligible to vote. Beheira has 3.1 million eligible voters, while Sharqia has 3.4 million, Menoufia has 2.2 million and Suez has 387,000. Upper Egypt includes Sohag with 2.3 million eligible voters, 1.4 million in Beni Suef and 805,125 in Aswan.
The parliamentary elections will be held over three stages; the second phase will commence on December 14 and 15, while the runoff will be on December 21 and 22. The third phase will be held on January 3 and 4, while the runoff will be on January 10 and 11, according to the Supreme Electoral Committee. Final results will be announced on January 13.
Voting will begin in polling stations at 8am and will end at 7pm. Governmental schools are being used as polling stations, which means work in the schools will be put on hold during election days.
Voters are expected to vote for one individual professional seat candidate, one individual workers seat candidate and one of the nominated parties to represent them in the first post-January 25 Revolution parliament, which will be without the corrupt and dissolved National Democratic Party.
The following table includes all required information about the second phase elections:
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party overwhelmingly won the first phase, gaining 36 individual seats in the first phase of the elections which were on November 28 and 29. All political trends, especially the Islamic ones like the Muslim Brotherhood, Salafis, and Gama'a al-Islamiyya have prepared for the second phase, to win by campaigning in governorates and holding conferences to display their platforms.
Egyptian Sufis, who are neglected by other Islamic trends, threatened to vote for the Egyptian Bloc, the Islamic powers' liberal rivals.
For the first time, the youth are participating in the competition to represent the people through the Revolution Continues Party.
Around 12 to 18 political parties are running in the parliamentary elections in a party slate system across nine governorates.
