Egypt’s first round voter turnout 52%, not 62%

Egypt's election committee on Monday lowered its turnout figure for the first stage of a parliamentary election, blaming a counting mistake that skewed numbers published last week.         
"The accurate percentage of attendance in the first round was 52 percent, not 62 percent," Abdel Moez Ibrahim, head of the election body, told reporters.         

He said members of the committee's secretariat made the error, adding that he "was very tired" when he gave initial figures at a news conference last week.             

Egyptians voted last week in the first election since a popular uprising toppled President Hosni Mubarak in February.             

The phased election that runs until January is part of a promised transition from military to civilian rule in July after a presidential election in June.
