CAIRO -- Egyptians started casting their votes on Tuesday on the country's new draft constitution, which is widely seen as a milestone during Egypt's political transition after Islamist president Mohamed Morsi was ousted last July.

The two-day referendum opened in 9 am local time (0700 GMT) in the country's 27 governorates and was scheduled to close at 9 pm (1900 GMT).
