The Egyptian National Election Authority (NEA) announced in a press release issued Sunday that its newly launched mobile application is now available for download via Google Play and App Store.
First rolled out on Friday, the application provides comprehensive information about all electoral entitlements under the NEA’s supervision. It also introduces a range of first-of-its-kind digital services designed to facilitate voter participation and streamline the electoral process. To access all the services available on the app, the user should first register on the app using their phone number and national ID number.
Among the app’s key features is the ability for voters to request a change in their polling station—based on information retrieved through the app’s inquiry feature—to one that is geographically closer to their place of residence as listed on their national ID.
Another innovative service allows family members who are registered across multiple polling locations to submit a joint request to vote at the same station, provided their national ID addresses match. These services are intended to ease logistical challenges and encourage wider voter turnout.
The NEA urged all eligible voters wishing to take advantage of these services to submit their requests via the mobile app or the official website no later than Tuesday, 15 July.
The Authority described the application as a strategic step toward the digitisation of voter services, highlighting its role in enhancing transparency, improving data accuracy, and simplifying access to electoral updates. This digital shift is part of the NEA’s broader commitment to integrating modern technologies in the service of the public and reinforcing democratic participation.
The launch coincides with the detailed procedures governing the 2025 Senate elections, which the NEA officially released, including voting arrangements for Egyptians living abroad.
Candidacy applications were accepted between 5 and 10 July. Appeals against nominated candidates are being reviewed from 14 to 16 July, with the final list scheduled for publication on 18 July, which also marks the start of the official campaigning period. The deadline for candidate withdrawal is 20 July, while electoral silence will begin on 31 July.
Egyptians abroad will cast their votes on 1 and 2 August at embassies and consulates. Eligible voters must be registered and must present either a national ID card or a passport that includes their national ID number. Voting hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time, and special arrangements will be in place to support voters with disabilities.
Voting within Egypt will be held on 4 and 5 August, with the final results expected to be announced on 12 August.
