All security services are regular at all election committees in the 13 governorates where the second stage of the parliamentary elections will start at 9:00 a.m, a source at the Interior Ministry's Operations Room said.
The source told MENA that security forces took their positions outside election committees since 5:00 a.m.
Backup forces were deployed near the committees in case of any emergency, he added.
Around 180,000 policemen are taking part in securing the second round of parliamentary elections.
The second round covers Cairo, Qalioubiya, Daqahliya, Menoufiya, Gharbiya, Kafr el Sheikh, Sharqiya, Damietta, Port Said, Ismailia, Suez, North Sinai and South Sinai.
Some 27.5 million voters are eligible to cast their vote in the second round compared to 25.5 million in the first stage.
As many as 222 independent parliamentary seats will be available in this vote, with 2,847 candidates competing in 102 constituencies. In addition there are 60 seats which will be filled by whichever party list secures a majority in two constituencies: Cairo and the Middle and South Delta (which has 45 seats), and East Delta (with 15 seats).
Four electoral coalitions will compete for the 45-seat Cairo and Delta constituency with 180 candidates or 45 each: “For the Love of Egypt”, the Nour Party, the Egyptian Front and Independence Current Alliance, and the Republican Alliance of Social Forces.
Egypt's parliament — the House of Representatives — ‎will comprise 596 members, 448 elected as independents ‎and 120 from party-based lists. The remaining 28 seats ‎will be filled by presidential appointees.
The country has been without a parliament since the previous one, elected in late 2011, was dissolved in June 2012 after a court ruled electoral laws in place to be unconstitutional.
