CAIRO (AP) ? Choosing their president freely for the first time, Egyptians are voting on the second day of an election that will produce a successor to longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak.
There were lines outside some polling centers on Thursday, but the morning turnout was generally weaker than the previous day's, when voters lined up outside polling centers before they opened.
Thirteen candidates are contesting the election, including Islamists, liberals and figures from Mubarak's ousted regime. Since none is likely to win outright in this first round on Wednesday and Thursday, the top two finishers will enter a run-off June 16-17. A winner will be announced June 21.
The generals who took control after Mubarak have promised to hand over power by July 1.
