As well as individual candidacy run-offs, three constituencies will vote for electoral lists after irregularities forced a postponement last week.
The run-off stage in the second round of the Egyptian parliamentary elections opened early Wednesday morning. Constituencies in which the first stage of voting did not return a majority for one of the candidates will pit the leading two against each other for a seat in parliament.
The run-off stage sees 118 candidates contesting fifty-eight seats.
Voting for electoral party lists is also taking place in three constituencies across Menoufiya, Sohag and Beheira. A court ruling last week ruled that elections be postponed in the constituencies after names were missing from ballot papers.
The nine governorates holding run-offs feature forty-seven candidates from the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), thirty-six from the Salafist Al-Nour Party, three from the Egyptian Bloc, one Al-Wafd Party candidate and ten independents.
