Elections in Egypt gives information on election and election results in Egypt.
Egypt elects on national level a head of state – a president – and a bicameral legislature.
The President of the Republic is elected for a six-year term by parliament, with that election confirmed by a popular referendum.
The People's Assembly (Majlis al-Sha'ab, lower house) has 454 members, 444 members elected for a five-year term (400 by proportional representation and 44 in single-seat constituencies) and 10 members nominated.
The Shura Council (Majilis Al-Shura, upper house) has 264 members. Of these, 174 members are directly elected and the remaining 88 are appointed by the President. Council members serve six-year terms, with one half of their number being renewed every third year.
Egypt is a one party dominant state with the National Democratic Party in power. Opposition parties are allowed, but are widely considered to have no real chance of gaining power.
