Egypt: HEC Extends Voting Hours in Referendum Until 9pm

The High Elections Commission decided to extend the voting hours in the first stage of the constitution referendum on Saturday until 9 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m.

The commission said that the move came in light of the high voter turnout in all polling stations in the 10 governorates where the first phase of the referendum is taking place.
