The 2018 Egyptian Presidential Election is schedule to be held from March 26 - 28,2018
Egyptians abroad voted from March 16-18,2018
A runoff, if necessary, will take place from April 19 to 21 outside the country and April 24 to 26 within the country
The three-day election, which kicked off on Monday March 26,2018, is largely viewed as a referendum on el-Sisi's performance, as he is running against one of his supporters, Moussa Mustafa Moussa, a little-known politician who had endorsed him for a second term and even organised events to help nominate the former military commander
El-Sisi has been urging a high voter turnout among the nearly 60 million eligible voters to affirm his legitimacy after all credible opponents dropped out in January, citing intimidation by authorities after his main challenger was jailed
When he was first elected in 2014, el-Sisi won by nearly 97 percent of the vote. However, less than half of eligible Egyptians voted even when the election was extended to three days instead of two.
