Alexandria, Cairo, Giza, and North Sinai governorates have recorded the highest turnout so far, according to a statement by the Supreme Media Council late on Tuesday.

Although no official reports were released regarding the size of turnout so far, women and elderly participation were remarkable in different governorates. Some governors said the turnout in the second day was higher than the first in their respective governorates.
