Egypt's electoral marathon to begin Tuesday
Candidates wishing to stand in Egypt's parliamentary polls will be able to begin registering on Tuesday after passing medical tests that will cost them EGP 2850 ($365) each.
In a press conference on Sunday, Ayman Abbas, head of the Higher Elections Committee (HEC) in charge of supervising the polls, announced that candidates seeking to stand in the coming parliamentary elections can register between 1 and 12 September.
"Registration will begin at 9am and end at 5pm, except on 12 September, when the window to register will close at 2pm," said Abbas.
