Egyptians headed to polling stations early Tuesday morning to cast their votes on the draft constitution finalised on 3 December.
Interim Egyptian President Adly Mansour and Defence Minister Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi called upon Egyptians to participate in the much-anticipated referendum earlier this week.
The referendum on the draft constitution is part of the roadmap put in place by the military on 3 July following the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi.
