According to the statement of Egypt’s interim President Adly Mansour the
date of the national referendum for the amended Constitution will be announced
this Saturday, 14 December.
The announcement will be made by the interim President in presence of
50-members Constitutional Committee tasked with the amending of 2012
Constitution, ministers of the interim government led by Hazem El-Beblawy,
members of Supreme Judicial Court and also representatives of Al-Azhar and of

The next stages are parliamentary and presidential elections. Both of
them could be held within 30 days since approval of the new Constitution.
It was reported earlier that referendum could be held in the middle of
January and will be held during two days. In addition to that rules of voting
for Egyptian citizens living abroad have been also changed.
