Egypt's Social Solidarity Minister Nivine al-Kabbaj cast her vote in senate elections, which kicked off earlier Tuesday.
It is worth mentioning that, polling stations will open their doors for Egyptians until 9:00 pm.
Egyptians expats cast their ballots via mails on Sunday and Monday.
Meanwhile, the electoral process at home will be held over two days.
Ibrahim Lashin, Head of National Elections Authority (NEA), said that a total of 787 candidates are competing for seats in the 300-seat chamber.
Two-thirds of the members will be elected via the inpidual candidacy and the closed party list systems, and the rest will be appointed by the president.
Only 100 of the total number of candidates will compete for the party list seats, with the remainder running for inpidual seats.
