CAIRO – 24 November 2025: Judge Ahmed Bendary, Head of the Central Operations Room at the National Elections Authority (NEA), announced that the Authority had received 86 complaints across 34 electoral constituencies and 58 subcommittees. The complaints were submitted by 8 women and 78 men.

The first day of the second round in the House of Representatives’  election concluded Monday at 9 p.m. with noticeably higher turnout.

The election will continue Tuesday, with results scheduled to be announced on Tuesday, 2 December. A total of 34,611,991 registered voters are eligible to choose among 1,316 candidates competing for 142 seats in this phase.

The second phase covers 13 governorates: Cairo, Qalyubia, Dakahlia, Menoufia, Gharbia, Kafr El-Sheikh, Sharqia, Damietta, Port Said, Ismailia, Suez, North Sinai, and South Sinai.

If runoffs are required, voting abroad will take place on 1–2 December for the first phase and 15–16 December for the second phase.

Meanwhile, runoff elections inside the country, if needed, are set for 3–4 December for the first phase and 17–18 December for the second.

The House of Representatives is composed of 568 elected members, with 284 chosen through the closed-list system and 284 through the individual system, alongside a number of members appointed by the president.

Under the list system, the National List for Egypt, which brings together several political parties including Mostaqbal Watan and Humat Al-Watan, both supportive of government policies, is running unopposed in all four list-based districts.

The list must secure at least 5% of the total valid votes to be declared successful.
