Al-Masry Al-Youm obtains leaked ballots in advance of elections

Al-Masry Al-Youm has obtained official ballots from the Red Sea and Fayoum governorates a day before parliamentary elections. The ballots were leaked in violation of the law.

Some ballots were filled with names of voters who have died, such as Ikram Mohamed al-Bendary of the Dar al-Salam constituency, who died eight years ago, as confirmed by her son-in-law, who discovered it while he was browsing the high elections committee website.

A security source said leaked ballots would not affect the electoral process, as it is closely monitored by judges inside the polling station and security personnel outside.
