Egypt constitutional vote marred by death and violence

Egypt constitutional vote marred by death and violence: 
Opponents of the constitution, which replaces Morsi's Islamist-leaning 2012 version, argue the buildup to the election has been anything but democratic – with dozens of activists allegedly arrested for calling for a "no" vote. Egyptian streets are filled with thousands of "yes" posters, with very little space given to the "no" campaign either on billboards or in the media.

Strong Egypt, a moderate Islamist party that had previously been the only sizable group to organise a "no" campaign, has made a last-minute decision to boycott the poll. Officials claimed 35 of their activists had been arrested on the campaign trail and said participation was pointless in the face of such widespread intimidation. The Muslim Brotherhood has long said it would boycott the vote, having rejected the legitimacy of anything that followed Morsi's removal.
