The second stage has continued for Egyptian expats on 4-6 November and will be conducted for locals on 7-8 November. Probable run-offs will be held on 7-8 December.

The second stage includes the governorates of Cairo, Qalioubiya, Daqahliya, Menoufiya, Gharbiya, Kafr Al-Sheikh, Sharqiya, Damietta, Port Said, Ismailia, Suez, North Sinai and South Sinai.

An estimated 31 million voters in 13 governorates will be able to vote on the remaining 284 seats of the House of Representatives, comprising 142 individual seats and 142 party list seats.

In the first stage, the electoral list led by the Mostaqbal Watan Party swept up the majority of votes, the National Election Authority (NEA) announced on Sunday.

The first stage in the elections covered districts in the Western Delta and Upper Egypt.
