3) Text of the recommendation and summary of the response of the concerned authority: Make available ballot papers in Braille for the blind to enable them to participate actively in the electoral process. Summary of the response of the Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments: The competent authority reported that the Kingdom of Bahrain has always been keen to provide care for the persons with disabilities, facilitate all aspects of their lives, and guarantee all their rights so that they are effectively integrated into society. In that sense, there are facilities for voters with disabilities who cannot cast their votes by themselves on ballot papers, as they can choose their candidate verbally and the chairman of the committee marks the voter’s choice on the prepared ballot paper and inserts it in the ballot box in the presence of one of the committee’s members. As for the recommendation on printing ballot papers in Braille for the blind, it is believed that it may lead to uncovering the identity of the voter when counting the votes. 4) Text of the recommendation and summary of the response of the concerned authority: Amend the provisions of Articles No. (60) and No. (69) of Law No. (37) of 2012 on the Child Law, to criminalize the use of children in the elections 98
