The current 596-member House was elected in 2020 for a five-year term ending in January 2026.
Under the constitution, new elections must be held within 60 days before the chamber’s term expires.
Of the 596 seats, 568 are elected, split evenly between individual candidates and closed lists, while the president appoints 28 members.
A quarter of the seats are reserved for women.
The announcement comes weeks after elections for Egypt’s 300-member Senate, the upper chamber of Parliament.
