Egyptian expatriates are still wondering if they will be allowed to vote in elections due in a fortnight.
Egypt's First Circuit Administrative Court of Justice issued a decision on 25 October allowing citizens to vote outside of Egypt, but the country's military rulers have yet to put the decree into practice.
The prime minister has assured Egyptians that citizens outside of the country will be able to vote.
However, nine months after President Hosni Mubarak was ousted, measures must still be taken to carry out the court's order.
Deutsche Welle Radio reports it is not clear when this will happen.
An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who asked not to be named, said he did not know when the steps to accommodate voting from abroad would be taken.
The Minstry of Foreign Affairs estimates 10 million Egyptians live outside the country, while a source said 40 million Egyptians in Egypt were eligible to vote in 2010.
Responding to a call for rallies in front of embassies around the world last weekend, frustrated Egyptians gathered in front of their embassies in London, New York, Bern, Madrid, Stockholm, Melbourne, Ottawa and Hong Kong.
Azza Ahmed Zaik, who has been living in Britain for three years, claimed the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces did not want the input of non-resident Egyptians and that was the reason for the delay on voting rights.
Dr Mariz Tadros, a fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, said one tension underlying voting from abroad regarded the prominence that conservative Islam would play in the country's new government.
Some Egyptians worry about how conservative Islamic groups will influence Egypt's new government.
Dr Tadros said the armed forces and the Muslim Brotherhood were in what the Muslim brotherhood had called 'a strategic pact'.
"So we know that in the light of this pact, the armed forces have certainly given more political freedoms and more political space for the Islamist parties to manoeuvre and engage politically than the liberal forces."
