9.5 Pursuant to the provisions of Law Decree No. (15) of 2002 on the Shura Council and the Council of Representatives and its amendments, particularly Article No. (27), which stated that " All election campaigning has to stop all over the kingdom 24 hours before the due date of the elections", the NIHR noted that the official media broadcasted television interviews with a number of candidates, in addition one of the local newspapers published electoral advertisements for some candidates during the electoral silence period, which was deemed an obvious violation of the provisions of the above mentioned article. 18 9.6 On the other hand, NIHR noted certain cases of child exploitation during the electoral process that involved employing children to perform electoral campaigning in public streets and roads for some candidates. In this regard, NIHR reiterates that involving children in such practices, could yield serious repercussions on their life and safety, and is not appropriate to their age group. 9.7 Regarding the lists of voters, on polling day NIHR noted that a large number of names of eligible voters for parliamentary or municipal elections were missing. That was a direct result of the change in the number of districts due to the elimination of the Central Governorate, causing confusion in some electoral constituencies thus the inability of some citizens to exercise their electoral right. * * * 18 For more information, please review the Second Annual Report of the National Institution for Human Rights 2014, Chapter Three: Section II: The Right to Nomination and Election ( www.nihr.org.bh).
