Government and security agencies in Cairo and the governorates are now at the highest level of readiness in preparation for the upcoming referendum on the new constitution, scheduled to take place Jan. 14-15. The country’s political administration is mobilizing in force, due to the referendum’s characterization as the first step of the road map adopted after the ouster of former President Mohammed Morsi on June 30.
In this regard, the cabinet held a number of coordinating meetings with the Board of Governors and relevant ministries, to discuss preparations to manage the voting process and ensure the security of all voting stations. Monitoring procedures will be adopted to guarantee the transparency of the referendum while ensuring that it be devoid of fraud.
