It'll be very interesting to see how this turns out! A committee appointed by the Supreme Council of the military has made several amendments to the Constitution, mainly changing three things (at least this is what I've read): who can run for president, how long a president can stay in power, and the rules regarding emergency law. There's a big divide between those who think this is enough (the military, the Muslim Brotherhood, the old National Democratic Party) and those who think the whole constitution should be scrapped and a new one put in place (the organizers and many participants in the protests). There's so much other stuff going on that this isn't in the news so much but you can click here to read one article.
It's a beautiful day here in Maadi - sunny and mid-80s (which is feeling a little warm!). We're going about business as usual - I'm not even sure where the polling centers are; I don't think there are any very near us. Curious to see what will happen after this vote and hope the results come out fast!
