Voters in Cairo started heading to balloting stations to cast their vote in the second and final day of the runoff of the second stage of parliamentary elections held under full judicial supervision and under the eyes of the civil society organizations and local and foreign observers.

Joint troops of the police and army were seen deployed around the election stations to secure the voting process.

Weak turnout was reported in the subcommittees of the districts of Sahel and Rowad el Farag in the early hours of voting.

The parliamentary elections are the third step of Egypt's future political road map plan.
