Clashes broke out Friday in Alexandria ahead of Saturday's final round of voting on the country's controversial draft constitution. NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports.By ReutersCAIRO - Polling stations opened in Egypt on Saturday in the second and final round of a referendum on a new constitution that was drafted by an assembly dominated by Islamists.
Follow @NBCNewsWorld (https://twitter.com/NBCNewsWorld) After a first-round vote last week which unofficial results showed as giving 57 percent approval for the constitution, polls opened again at 8 a.m. local time (1 a.m. ET) for the last stage of voting in areas analysts expected would give another "yes" vote.
The vote has been staggered, with about half the 51 million eligible voters covered in each round, because many judges needed to supervise the vote have boycotted the polls to protest the referendum in sympathy with the opposition.
