What kind of ballot does Egypt vote on?
Do they have electronic voting machines?
Will the same method be used during the upcoming election as past elections?

Up until last week, they voted however Mubarak told them to.
I imagine they will vote as in Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other countries- paper ballots, and your thumb gets inked to show that you have voted prevents double voting.
The eventual election will be high visibility given the world’s focus. To make sure it is considered legitimate, they will have to take steps to keep it secure.

Voting machines are a terrible idea. Just take the time to count the votes by hand, it’s really not hard.
The process will be defined over the next few weeks. Elections will be held within the next 6 months. Egypt will create a new constitution. I’m optimistic that Egypt will accept help from Europe to set up the logistics around these first free elections.
