Preparations underway for Egypt's parliamentary election

The Supreme Elections Commission (SEC) is making intensive and continued efforts to prepare for Egypt's upcoming parliamentary polls, said SCE spokesman Medhat Edris.
The SEC is tasked with organizing the process.
The date of the parliamentary election has not yet been specified.
The SCE is currently working on updating and modifying the voter database, he said.
It is also studying the proposed dates and timetable for the election, putting all the rules and procedures to ensure integrity of the vote, and setting controls for the electronic voting system, he added.
Egypt's new House of Representatives will be composed of 567 members.
The new house law specifies that 75 percent of seats (420) will be elected via the individual candidacy system, while 20 percent (120) will be via the Party-list proportional representation system. The remaining five percent (27) will be appointed by the president.
