The submission period will extend until August 6, according to a press release issued by the Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE).

As of Friday, more than 80 people had applied to withdraw their nomination forms. According to the electoral law, candidates for the presidency must collect at least 10,000 recommendations from voters across at least ten electoral districts. Alternatively, they can gather recommendations from 10 members of parliament, the Council of Regions and Regions, or local, regional, or municipal councils. Meeting one of these criteria ensures candidates have sufficient support to qualify for the election. Source: Bahrain News Agency
