Carnegie's Guide ro Egyptian Elections

While Egypt's Parliamentary elections are only moderately competitive by international standards, they do have some meaning, and so the Carnegie Endowment has put together an online guide to Egypt's elections. Michele Dunne and Amr Hamzawy at Carnegie are two of the best analysts on Arab electoral politics generally and Egypt specifically, so this can be a useful guide for anyone who has trouble remembering what the Tagummu&lsuo; Party stands for or how, exactly, the rather byzantine electoral system works. It's a useful guide as we approach the Parliamentary vote and, of course, next year's Presidential vote.

On the same subject, I should also mention Mona El=Ghobashy's piece at MERIP.
