Let the irregularities begin

Here is a video I just shot outside of a polling station in Cairo. Campaigning on election day is banned and especially so close to a polling station, but this supporter, who is endorsing an NDP-affiliated candidate, clearly got passed the layers of security and is blasting music for everyone to hear in this Muslim Brotherhood stronghold. 

Here is also a picture of a ballot from one of the districts in upper Egypt. This ballot was obtained late on Saturday before the polls opened. Its  what monitors call the "revolving ballot".

Here is how it works: This ballot is given to an individual ahead of the election with a selection of the candidate already checked off in the box.
