Egyptians began voting on Tuesday in the final round of landmark parliamentary elections.
Small queues began to form around schools, turned into polling stations which opened at 8:00am (0600 GMT).
The final round takes place over two days in the Nile Delta provinces of Qaliubiya, Gharbiya and Daqahliya; the New Valley province; the southern governorates of Minya and Qena; the border province of Matruh; and in North and South Sinai.
The first two stages of the staggered polls saw Egypt's main Islamist parties claim a crushing victory. After the voting for the lower house of parliament, Egyptians will vote for members of an upper house and the process to elect a full assembly will end in February. [AFP]
