The 2011/2013 sequence offered a glimpse of the extremely rich political and social diversity of a country in the throes of revolutionary turmoil. For the first time in Egypt’s electoral history, an analysis of the quantitative data available provides an opportunity to shed light on the relationships between social category and political preference. It also makes it possible to study the change in Egyptian voter behavior in the six months between the parliamentary election and the presidential ballot and lastly, to identify the social and geographical cleavages that currently divide Egyptian society and will partly determine its immediate future.
