Most parties agree Egypt is on course for a record turnout
The first elections in Egypt since former President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown are going into a second day with indications of a high turnout in Cairo and other big cities.
The first day of polling for a new parliament was mainly peaceful.
Voting was extended to cope with long queues and few security problems were reported.
Many protesters occupying Cairo's Tahrir Square have boycotted the vote.
There had been fears the vote might be delayed after deadly protests against the interim military rulers who replaced Mr Mubarak.
