Angry voters held a protest in the governorate of Qena after being unable to vote because ‎no judges were available to supervise the voting processes in many of the polling stations. ‎

The lack of judicial supervision meant that many of the polling stations were closed and ‎angry voters refused to head instead to other polling stations. ‎

In Naga Hamadi, two schools were shut and in the village of Naga Azouz 10,000 voters refused to go to polling stations in other villages after being told that the polling ‎stations were closed. ‎

Egyptian state TV reported earlier that the military is sending two planes carrying judges to Qena, Sohag and Naga Hammadi to supervise the voting process. ‎
