 Before and during the period leading up to the election process, the NIHR also monitored some security events that included damaging or burning private property for some of the candidates, attacking their premises and defacing election posters. The NIHR believes that this conduct is incompatible with the values and principles of democracy. In addition, these acts target public and private property, stressing that such acts would undermine the security and stability, terrorize innocent citizens and residents, threaten security and civil peace, as well as the prejudicing human rights and fundamental freedoms which should be enjoyed freely by all.  On the other hand, the NIHR also spotted cases of child exploitation during the electoral process. This involved the employment of children in electoral campaigns for some candidates in public streets and roads. Thus, for the best interests of the child, the NIHR stresses that involving children in such acts might have bad effects and poses risk to their lives and security as it is not commensurate with their age group.  Regarding the lists of voters, on polling day the NIHR spotted that a large number of names of eligible voters for parliamentary or municipal elections missing from the lists of voters. That was the result of the change in the number of districts due to the abolition of the Central Governorate, causing confusion for some constituencies and the inability of some citizens to exercise their electoral right. Thus, the NIHR believes that despite the pre-election announcement of the Higher Election Commission for voters to ensure that their names were included in the prescribed electoral lists, giving to them 45 days prior to polling day pursuant to the law on exercising political rights, it was necessary to avoid voter confusion caused by merging governorates following the abolition of the Central Governorate. The NIHR wishes that matter to be taken into account when preparing the lists of voters for the next round of general elections in 2018.  To enhance the confidence of voters in outcomes of the electoral process and the role entrusted to the High Elections and Referendum Commission, the NIHR had hoped that the High Commission would publish a detailed report after the end of the electoral process in which it showed all details of the electoral process, whether for voters registration in voter lists, receiving applications for candidacy for the Council of Representatives or municipal councils, or at electoral propaganda phase, as well as voting and vote counting, announcement of results and considering electoral appeals. Involving civil society institutions in the membership of the High Elections and Referendum Commission to oversee the integrity of the election and the referendum is also important. 11
