The Justice Support foundation affiliated with The Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and Legal Profession (ACIJLP) issued a legal paper addressing “Full Judicial Supervision on Presidential Election between Concept and Application”. The paper approached the upcoming presidential election of 2023, being the last electoral process to be conducted under full judicial supervision in accordance with the 2014 Constitution, while the new constitution adopted an independent management system for elections, ten years after its issuance, as a transitional phase ending in mid-January 2024.
Judiciary being responsible for election supervision has been the only solution proposed to confront popular distrust in elections in Egypt, with widespread fraud cases in most of the electoral processes, to which people responded with a widespread reluctance to exercise their right to vote. Judicial rulings have accumulated to partially invalidate the elections in some circuits, or completely in some other cases. For decades, the Parliament has protected itself from judicial rulings with the rule: “the Council is the Master of Its Own Decisions”.
