CAIRO, May 26 (Aswat Masriya) - Four judges have been excluded from the task of monitoring the electoral process since voting began on Monday morning, a Presidential Elections Commission (PEC) official said on Monday.
The four judges were removed after they had influenced voters and stirred trouble inside their polling stations, said Tarek Shebl, a member of the PEC's General Secretariat.
Four other judges were brought to replace the excluded ones, Shebl told Aswat Masriya.
When asked about the voters' turnout, Shebl said that it was higher in the afternoon compared to the morning hours due to the improvement in temperature.
