Egyptians started Saturday morning casting their votes in the final round of a controversial constitutional referendum that had stirred up divisions between the country's liberals and Islamists.

As many as 25 million eligible voters in 17 governorates, including Giza, Suez, Ismailia and Port Said, are scheduled to cast their votes at 8:00 a.m. local time (0600 GMT), to determine the destiny of the country's draft constitution.

Unofficial results said that 56.5 percent of voters approved the draft constitution in the first round of referendum last week.
