Egyptians go to polling stations in historic vote

Polling stations in Egypt opened on Monday, state television reported, in this Arab country's first parliamentary election since a popular uprising ended the 30-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year. There are some 40 million registered voters.

Egyptians in Cairo, Alexandria and other areas included in the first phase of the lower house election were allowed to vote from 8 a.m.. Polls close at 7 p.m. (1700 GMT) but voters in this round can also vote on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
