Egyptian opposition activists and police have clashed during the final round of parliamentary elections.

An Egyptian human rights group said an opposition supporter was shot dead and another wounded north of Cairo.

Reports say riot police have blocked entry to polling stations in Muslim Brotherhood and opposition strongholds.

The elections are being seen as a potential watershed for Egypt after the technically-banned Brotherhood made gains in previous rounds.
