Propaganda. Nothing but propaganda. Egypt is a dictatorship, and the dictator wishes to appear elected.
The wonderful profusion of pictures on this thread is rather desperate in its propagandist appeal.
To quote a non-MB source from a Guardian article:
“It's a fake process,” said Mohamed el-Baqr, a senior official at Strong Egypt, which opposed Morsi's constitution and later called for his early departure. “The choice on the ballot paper is effectively between a box for yes and a box for handcuffs.”

Dear OP, we Pakistanis have been through all this multiple times. So please do not expect us to be swayed by your energetic & misplaced efforts. We know who calls the shots. We know who is managing the process. Egyptians might have been bludgeoned into submission, and many may be tired of instability, but there is no mistaking dictatorship. There is no fig leaf big enough to mask this nakedness. A hundred such referendums would not suffice.
But carry on, nonetheless. Do your duty.
