Jurists in Egypt called on authorities to assign the judiciary to fully supervise elections and to monitor the results of Egypt's upcoming polls. The Supreme Constitutional Court has supported the call emphasizing that the methods of voting and elections carried out in France and India need to be applied in Egypt.
Al Asar denounced the idea that the Egyptian People's Assembly is commissioned with the task of settling disputes over legislative election noting that the Constitutional Council of France undertakes the responsibility of supervising appeals of the presidential and parliamentary elections.
He called to apply India's experience to Egypt where they facilitated procedures enabling the ordinary layman opportunities to vote by using simple electronic voting machines. Al Asar called for Egyptian delegates to be sent to India to learn how to utilize these methods in elections.
Dr. Ibrahim Darwish a Constitutional Law Professor emphasized that there is no genuine democracy without respect for the Constitution
