Voting on the proposed constitutional changes continues to top coverage of Egypt in the foreign press, with wire pickups of Reuters and Associated Press pieces featuring in Euronews, the New York Timesand the Washington Post. Deutsche Welle and the AP both draw attention to government efforts to get out the vote, from the proliferation of pro-government banners to voters receiving bus rides and bags of food staples. The role of state media outlets in championing the cause of the referendum is also highlighted, with AP quoting Al-Ahram Chairman Abdel Mohsen Salama’s framing of the vote as an “urgent necessity.” Voice of America, meanwhile, claims there have been “irregularities” in the voting process while the Telegraph has a less-than-favorable take on what it means for the ambitions of the 2011 revolution.
