Egypt votes freely for first time in half a century
Egyptians crowded polling stations as millions cast ballots on constitutional changes aimed at expanding political rights. In Cairo’s Maadi, voters praised the vote while amid calls for reform, with some fearing the Muslim Brotherhood’s rising influence. The turnout, projected around 50 percent, marked Egypt's freest vote since the 1952 coup that toppled the monarchy.
