Voting is also taking place for the runoff round in the Itsa district of Fayoum. All balloting in these races is limited to individual-seat contests.
Polling runs from 9am to 9pm, according to each country’s local time.
Annulled constituencies include Imbaba in Giza; Fayoum and Ibshway in Fayoum; Al-Fath in Assiut; and seven constituencies in Sohag: Sohag, Akhmim, Al-Maragha, Tahta, Girga, Al-Monshaah, and Dar Al-Salam. Others are Qena, Qus, Nagaa Hammadi, and Abu Tisht in Qena; Al-Raml First in Alexandria; and Damanhour, Abu Hummus, and Itay Al-Baroud in Beheira.
In the Itsa runoff, four candidates are competing for two seats: Yasser Abdel-Tawwab Sallouma of the Homeland Protectors Party; Akram Mohamed Ali of the Nation’s Future Party; and independent candidates Mostafa Abdel-Latif El-Banna and Hossam Khalil.
The rerun of voting in the 19 constituencies comes during one of the most extensive judicial interventions in an Egyptian parliamentary election in recent years.
Over the past week, the Supreme Administrative Court issued a series of final rulings annulling the results of 30 constituencies from the first phase of the 2025 House of Representatives elections.
These rulings coincided with an earlier NEA decision to void the results of 19 other constituencies due to procedural irregularities, bringing the total number of affected districts in the first phase to 49 out of 70.
Sources within the NEA say the authority is reviewing a proposed timetable for rerunning the elections in the 30 constituencies annulled by the court.
According to the proposal, still under consideration by the NEA board and expected to be finalized on Tuesday, overseas voting would take place on 8 and 9 December, followed by voting inside Egypt on 10 and 11 December.
If runoffs are required, the suggested dates are 31 December and 1 January for Egyptians abroad, and 3 and 4 January for in-country voting.
The 30 constituencies annulled by the court rulings span 10 governorates, with the highest concentration in Upper Egypt and Greater Cairo.
Giza tops the list with seven affected districts, followed by Minya with five and Beheira with four. Luxor, Aswan, and Assiut each have three annulled constituencies; the New Valley has two; while Alexandria, Sohag, and Fayoum each have one.
For the NEA, these developments have created a major logistical challenge, especially as Egyptians abroad must vote before domestic polling begins.
The authority has reiterated that it “has no interest in electoral appeals” and is legally required to implement all Supreme Administrative Court rulings immediately.
The NEA is set to announce the official results of the second phase of the 2025 House of Representatives elections at a press conference on Tuesday, marking a key moment as the electoral map undergoes significant changes.
