Al-Sisi, 68, can stand for a third term due to constitutional amendments in 2019 that also extended the length of presidential terms to six years from four, opening the way for him to stay in office until at least 2030.
Election results are expected to be announced on December 23 and, in the event of a run off round, final results should be announced on January 16 at the latest, the election authority said.
