Egyptians begin voting in their first free presidential election, 15 months after ousting Hosni Mubarak in the Arab spring uprising. Fifty million people are eligible to vote, and queues are forming at some polling stations. The military council which assumed presidential power in February 2011 has promised a fair vote and civilian rule. Until a new constitution is approved it is unclear what powers the president will have, prompting fears of friction with the military.
