The National Elections Authority (NEA) said its executive director, Ahmed Bendary, held virtual meetings on Friday with Egyptian embassies and consulates to review preparations. Ambassadors reported that the process was proceeding smoothly, with polling stations fully equipped to receive voters.
The second phase covers 13 governorates, including Cairo, Qalyubia, Dakahlia, Menoufia, Gharbia, Kafr El-Sheikh, Sharqia, Damietta, Port Said, Ismailia, Suez, North Sinai, and South Sinai. Voting inside Egypt will take place on 24–25 November, with results due on 2 December.
The NEA said 34 million eligible voters can participate in the second phase, with 1,316 candidates contesting individual seats. A total of 9,200 judges are supervising the process.
The authority this week cancelled the first phase of the elections for individual seats in 19 constituencies across seven governorates after detecting violations. Re-voting in those constituencies will be held abroad on 1–2 December and inside Egypt on 3–4 December, with results on 11 December. Run-offs, if required, will take place abroad on 24–25 December and domestically on 27–28 December. Final results are expected on 4 January 2026.
Run-offs for the first phase will also be held abroad on 1–2 December and inside Egypt on 3–4 December, with final results on 11 December. The first phase, covering 14 governorates, was conducted abroad on 7–8 November and domestically on 10–11 November.
The current House of Representatives was elected in late 2020 for a five-year term ending in January 2026. Under the constitution, elections for a new chamber must take place within 60 days before the expiry of the term.
The 596-seat chamber comprises 568 elected members—evenly split between individual candidates and closed lists—with the president appointing 28 additional members. A quarter of seats are reserved for women.
