Egypt’s Parliamentary Elections: The Political Implications of Electoral Transition

Egypt’s Parliamentary Elections: The Political Implications of Electoral Transition

Policy Brief

December 2011

Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Dubai Initiative

 

This policy brief analyzes Egypt’s electoral framework in light of legal and political changes following the popular revolt that overthrew Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. Over the course of a three and a half month period, Egyptians will elect representatives to lower and upper houses of Parliament: the People’s Assembly and the Shura Council, respectively. Once both houses convene in March 2012, a 100-member constituent assembly will be selected to draft a new constitution.
