center. However, in a few polling centers and due to the limited available
space, the observers were unable to closely establish whether the voters
inserted their ballot papers in the designated place or not and whether the
centers’ organizers stamped the voters’ passports to indicate casting their
votes the moment they received the ballot paper and before actually
voting.
Indicator: Were the ballot boxes transparent?
10. The NIHR’s monitoring team found that all the ballot boxes were
transparent and had colored covers, where the boxes with the red cover
were assigned for the election of the members of the Council of
Representatives and the boxes with the green cover were for the election
of the members of municipal councils.
Indicator: Were voting booths secluded so that voters could secretly cast
their ballot?
11. In all the polling stations that the NIHR’s team has visited, the requirements
for secrecy and privacy of voting were preserved in the places designated
for casting the ballots (voting booths).
