In the practical implementation during this stage, and in adherence to
the relevant laws and decisions concerning electoral propaganda, the
Supreme Committee for General Election Oversight has been observed
carrying out its responsibilities. This has been done through various
media channels and social media platforms under its supervision,
including its official electronic account. The legal regulations governing
electoral propaganda were presented, and an invitation was extended
to the candidates stressing the importance of adhering to these
regulations. Among these regulations are commitments to the
constitution, respecting the rule of law, freedom of opinion and
expression for others, preserving national unity, security, and stability,
and refraining from anything that may incite division or sectarianism
among citizens. Additionally, candidates are urged not to violate the
period of electoral silence. Furthermore, efforts made by relevant
authorities to organize electoral propaganda in various provinces of the
kingdom were monitored in accordance with the provisions of the law.

In the same context, the NIHR observed that some candidates did not
adhere to the regulations governing electoral propaganda. They
conducted their campaign in locations prohibited by the law, placed
their advertisements in a manner that threatened individuals' safety or
obstructed traffic flow, or displayed advertisements that could damage
the green areas along public roads. Furthermore, these advertisements
were sometimes placed in close proximity to supervisory centers,
polling stations, and counting centers.
