Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt in 2010. The first stage was held on 28 November 2010[1][2][3] and the second round was held on 5 December 2010.[4][5]
The election was scheduled in two stages to form the Ninth Assembly since the adoption of the 1971 Constitution. 444 ordinary seats were contested[4] with 64 additional seats reserved for women,[4] while the President appointed 10 members,[4] making a total of 518 seats.[4]
Human rights groups said this was the "most fraudulent poll ever" in Egypt's history.[6] It is considered to have been a factor in the Egyptian Revolution that occurred shortly afterwards in early 2011.
