to the rules and ethics of election monitoring, which were signed by the NIHR's monitoring team. 21. Accordingly, an internal working team was formed, headed by the Chairman of the NIHR and consisting of eight members of the Board of Commissioners, to carry out the tasks of monitoring all stages of the electoral process. The team is supported by a working group from the General Secretariat, headed by the Secretary-General and consisting of eleven staff members. Additionally, a technical team was established to prepare a draft report on monitoring the electoral process. The team will submit its report to the Secretary-General, who will then forward it to the Chairman of the NIHR, following the established procedures. 22. In order to build and enhance the capabilities of the NIHR's working team responsible for observation and monitoring, the NIHR organized a workshop on "Monitoring the 2022 Parliamentary and Municipal Elections." The workshop was attended by members of the NIHR's Board of Commissioners, staff from the General Secretariat, and civil society organizations that had previously participated in monitoring parliamentary and municipal elections, as well as those expressing their desire to participate in the elections monitoring for the year 2022. The workshop, which involved more than 150 participants, aimed to shed light on the mechanism of election monitoring and the guarantees established in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Bahrain and relevant national legislation. It also provided an opportunity for the exchange of experiences and best practices related to election monitoring, contributing to ensuring the success of the electoral process by unifying national efforts in this regard. 14
