National Election Authority (NEA) head Ibrahim Lashen confirmed on Saturday that there have not been any complaints or obstacles during the electoral process so far and operation rooms are following the process very closely.
Moreover, Lashen added that all polling stations around the country opened at 9.00 a.m. without delay.
It is worth mentioning that NEA has formed an operation room and announced a hotline number “19826” for receiving voters’ complaints throughout the two-day parliamentary elections.
The first stage of the parliamentary elections kicked off earlier today, Saturday, across all Egyptian governorates.
The NEA coordinates with the concerned government agencies to secure the election process.
Police forces are deployed in the streets, while the Interior Ministry raised the level of preparedness to secure the election process.
The re-runs of the first stage will be held for Egyptians abroad from November 21 to 23 and in Egypt on November 24 and 25.
