"Millions of Egyptians are set to cast their votes as the country's 2024 presidential election kicked off on Sunday with four candidates contesting, the most popular of whom is incumbent President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi. Running from Dec. 10 to 12, the voting begins at 09:00 a.m. Cairo local time and lasts for 12 hours on each of the three days. I'm now at one of the polling stations in Cairo. As we can see, there are many residents coming here to vote."
Overseas Egyptian voters had previously cast their ballots from Dec. 1 to Dec. 3.
About 67 million Egyptians are eligible to vote at more than 9,000 polling stations nationwide.
Sisi, who is running for a third term, was elected president in 2014 and reelected in 2018 for a second term, both with an overwhelming majority.
The other three contestants are the Social Democratic Party's Farid Zahran; the Egyptian Al-Wafd Party's Abdel Sanad Yamama; and Hazem Omar, the People's Republican Party candidate.
The final result is scheduled to be announced on Dec. 18, if no run-off is required.
