municipal council members. These decisions appointed the heads, secretaries, and members of the polling and counting committees distributed across the governorates of the kingdom. Moreover, the decisions also named the heads, secretaries, and reserve members for these committees, totaling (55) committees for polling and counting, comprising both general and sub-committees. 19. It is worth mentioning that the tenth general committee for polling and counting, responsible for the election of members of the Council of Representatives and municipal councils, has designated a facility at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre (Manama) to accommodate voters infected with COVID-19. The committee has enlisted a number of doctors and medical staff to facilitate the voting process from the moment the voter enters the center until they complete the voting process and leave. Additionally, a designated area has been allocated for the press and supervisory institutions interested in attending and monitoring the electoral process. 20. The NIHR believes that the legal framework for the electoral process, whether parliamentary or municipal, is characterized by precise and clear organization, leaving no room for ambiguity regarding the various procedures and conditions preceding the polling day. This organization is achieved through legislative regulations as well as executive administrative decisions. Moreover, these administrative decisions are issued with sufficient time before the start of the polling day, which enhances the transparency of the electoral process in both legal and organizational aspects. 31
