The elections commission chief says constitutional changes were approved in Egypt's landmark referendum, with 77% of the vote in favor according to final results.
The changes eliminate restrictions on political rights and open the way for parliamentary and presidential elections within months. Opponents argued that the timeframe was too quick for political parties to organize. Egypt's best organized political forces - the Muslim Brotherhood and members of the former ruling party - campaigned for passage.
