Voting is underway in Egypt’s first parliamentary elections since the ouster nine month ago of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak.

While Egypt holds it's historic elections, voters turn out in droves and this long awaited vote promises to be the fairest and cleanest election in Egypt's living history.

The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest and best organized group, along with other Islamists are expected to do well in the vote.
