Egypt votes in historic presidential poll
Egypt is holding parliamentary elections on May 23. Egyptians are voting in their first free presidential election, 15 months after ousting Hosni Mubarak in the Arab Spring uprising.
Fifty million people are eligible to choose a new leader among the twelve candidates.
The results of a survey showed that one third of the people are still undecided as to which of the candidates to elect in Wednesday's ballot.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), which assumed presidential power in February 2011, has promised a fair poll followed by civilian rule.
Experts say that the elections might open a new charter in the history of Egypt.
