Egypt’s electoral commission on Saturday extended polling by one hour on the first day of voting in the second round of a divisive presidential election run-off.
Polling stations will now close at 9:00 PM (1900 GMT) across the country.
More than 50 million eligible voters have been called to choose between ex-premier Ahmed Shafiq and Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi to succeed president Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted by a popular uprising last year.
Official results are expected on June 21.
