The cabinet is due to issue a law on Thursday dealing with political rights. The law will be issued after its ratification by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
A military source said the cabinet would also make a statement on how the law is to be applied during the current transitional period.
The source also said that the law has been prepared by judicial experts, including the head of the State Council, the minister of justice, the vice president of the Constitutional Court and a legal committee from the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
The law is expected to address election procedures for the People's Assembly and the Shura Council, grant Egyptians residing abroad the right to vote, and safeguard the representation of women in parliament.
