Draft law adds new electoral constituencies

The Interior Ministry is preparing a draft law that would add several new electoral constituencies, so as to make it easier for citizens to cast their votes, said Assistant Interior Minister for Electoral Affairs Refaat Komsan.

“The draft would also enable citizens to determine their districts through the internet,” he said.

Meanwhile, Minster for Manpower and Immigration Ahmed Hassan al-Borei said Egyptians living abroad have the right to vote according to an international agreement on political rights that Egypt has signed.

“We are currently studying certain technical issues to facilitate this matter,” he said.
