First:
 Intensive security presence inside and outside the polling centers and stations either official or civil dressed, especially in locations where it is expected that the opposition parties organize demonstrations to express their rejection of the amendments.

:Second

 Members and leaders of national Democratic Party (NDP) (the ruling party) behave as if they organize internal elections in the party and it is not a popular referendum for all Egyptian citizens.

Third:
 General Federation of Egypt Workers and the Trade unions Committees have played a role in all regulatory and supervisory work in mobilizing workers and gathering them from the great companies and institution, in cars and buses and transferring them to the polling stations and follow up on their voting by (yes) to the constitutional amendments.
 Fourth:
(NDP) leaders, businessmen and members of the parliament (The People’s Assembly) who belong to (NDP), have saved the government from a big scandal, as they made strenuous efforts to mobilize and gathering in the state vehicles and private vehicles, the workers of state institutions and some of their supporters to the polling centers and stations to make it not seems like abandoned areas not entered by anyone.
Fifth:
With the exception of collective voting, the voting of the ordinary citizens' is very weak, not exceeding 5% at best.
 Sixth:
By asking large numbers of citizens, it was noted that the majority do not know anything about what they are voting for and many of them have distorted information on the enemies who want to sabotage the country!!!  
 Seventh:
 All State facilities through high authorities’ directions have been harnessed for gathering citizens to go to the polling centers and to vote (yes) to the constitutional amendments.
 Eighth:
There were some grants and gifts in the form of direct material category of ten, twenty and thirty pounds, or a pack of sweets for (Prophet Mohammed’s Birthday), or meals and refreshments that help citizens to perform the task. As well as some promises of future grant to be added to the monthly salary later, conditioned by going to the poling centers and stations and vote (yes) to the proposed constitutional amendments.
 Ninth:
 All efforts for collective transportation were inadequate, as it happened among the workers in agencies, companies and state bodies institutions, which represent a small proportion of all the Egyptian voters, and had to found another way to fill the polling boxes with ballot.
Tenth:
The lack of judiciary supervision in sub polling stations, as well as some of the polling centers, and assigning administrative staff for this mission, had lead to the spread of the phenomenon of forgery (to marked the ballots) widely with the help of NDP members, security officers and the executive bodies, without any objection, and perhaps be welcomed by the supervisors of the sub-polling stations, which indicate the desire of the government to announce high rate of participation, exceeding what was in fact.
 Eleventh:
 • Conclusion:

. Active participation for voting on referendum amendments was very weak.

. There was a wide use of all the resources of the state in gathering voters and transporting them for collective voting, by executive leaders of the state, the General Federation of Egypt Workers , the (NDP) leaders, businessmen and members of the (People's Assembly) and (Shoura Council) who belong to (NDP).   

. Manipulation of voters who did not know anything about what they were doing was a widely spread phenomenon.

. Combination between the absences of judges and the broadest process of forgery.

. All details of the voting process as watched were under the care and protection of intensive security.
