EGYPT: Two stages of referendum...



Judges who demanded to oversee the constitution referendum have exceeded 9 thousand judges. It has been decided that the referendum shall be carried out in two stages: the first one will be on 15 December 2012, in the following governorates: Cairo, Alexandria, Dakahliyyah, Gharbiyyah, Sharkiyyah , Assiute, Sohag, Aswan, Northern and Southern Sinai.

The second one will be on 22 December 2012 in the following governorates: Jizah, Kaliubiyyah, Minofiyyah, Beherah, Kafr El-Shiekh, Dhumyat, Al-Ismailiyyah, Port-Said, Sues, Matrouh, Al-Bahr Al-Ahmar, Al-Wadi El-Gedied, Bani Swief, Fayyume, Miniya, Luxur, Qina.

The referendum shall be carried out in two stages so that the judges will be able to oversee the referendum without being exposed to pressure and fatigue that may be caused by  participation of the public.

Results of the first stage shall be announced to only the sub-committees, each in its turn. Official total result will be announced at the end of the two stages.

As regards fear that the announcement of the first stage results may influence the second stage voter’s opinions, It is said that the committee has done its best within the number of judges available, and total results will only be announced after the two stages have come to an end.
