The High Elections Commission (HEC) on Wednesday received from the Foreign Ministry the results of the first round of parliamentary votes cast by Egyptians abroad.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Amr Roshdy said the Foreign Ministry had established polling stations in 127 Egyptian embassies.
Representatives from Egyptian communities abroad attended the vote counts, Roshdy said. He said only three or four embassies had not received any votes.
Egyptians in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital, cast most the largest number of ballots with more than 35,000 voters. Nearly 26,000 Egyptians voted from Kuwait, and 12,000 voted from the United Arab Emirates.
Roshdy said 27 Israel-based Egyptians, out of 45 registered, had cast their ballots. Ecuador and Chile came last with only one Egyptian voter at each.
