Egypt elections: Those who cannot vote, Aljazeera (2011)
Under Egypt's laws, political prisoners can be lumped in with criminal record holders who are barred from voting. There has been a flurry of stories on issues facing candidates - charges of discrimination against female candidates, the questionable efficacy of a ban on preventing those with ties to deposed President Hosni Mubarak’s National Democratic Party from running etc. But little is known about a list of names, a list that some say is nearly 30,000 names long, identifying people who have been prohibited from voting due to past criminal convictions.
