12. In practice, the NIHR has monitored and followed up the efforts of the Supreme Committee for
the General Supervision of the Soundness of Elections, through various forms of media and social
media, which facilitate and ease the electoral process in both its parliamentary and municipal
branches with regard to the stage of registration in voters’ lists and objection, the time limits to
be observed to receive appeals for change and correction of addresses, as well as provision of
several means to verify the presence of voters’ names, the possibility of correcting the addresses
electronically through the website. This guarantees that citizens exercise their right effectively and
in line with the relevant international standards and obligations.
13. The NIHR also monitored the official announcement issued by the Supreme Committee for the
General Supervision of the Soundness of Elections, which indicated that the number of voters who
verified their data in the voters’ lists through the supervisory committees distributed among the
four governorates of the Kingdom, in addition to the website dedicated to that purpose is (134637)
voters.

rights’ knowledge of the citizens, the desire to participate in politics and management of public
affairs in the Kingdom, the further advancement of democratic life, and the support of the political
development process in the Kingdom.
