Egyptian media reports said former U.S. President Jimmy Carter arrived in Egypt as part of a mission to observe the country's post-revolution elections. Egyptians are holding their third round of runoff votes for members of Parliament. The tiered elections, which began in late 2011, are the first since a revolution forced President Hosni Mubarak from office after nearly 30 years in power. Carter is expected to visit polling stations and meet with civil and political leaders in the country, Egyptian news agency al-Ahram reports. His visit follows a series of demonstrations against ruling military authorities and comes as authorities try Mubarak and members of his inner circle for their roles in the deaths of protesters during the revolution. During his presidency in the 1970s, Carter helped broker the Camp David Accords that led to a 1979 peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. The Carter Center, which has headquarters in Atlanta, is a premier non-governmental organization observing elections. "The Center's delegation is evaluating election administration, campaigning, voting and counting procedures, and other issues related to the overall electoral process in Egypt," his group said in a statement.
