In the 19 March referendum on constitutional amendments, 77 percent of Egyptians voted in favor of holding elections before drafting the new constitution. This was the only clean referendum in Egyptian history, despite a few procedural glitches and the fact that religion was used to influence some people’s decisions. Still, it’s unacceptable to refuse the outcome of this vote or to accuse voters of not knowing what’s best for them. We have to respect the choice of the people even if we don’t like it.
