Manama, Nov29(BNA) Out of the Interior Ministry’s responsibility to protect the security and general order surrounding the second round of the parliamentary and municipal elections on Saturday, the police reinforced security deployments in all areas and villages in Bahrain, in addition to the main and sub-roads leading to voting stations.

There was also a heavy deployment of traffic patrols to ensure smooth traffic flow for voters and candidates.

Security procedures surrounding the transfer of ballot boxes to the voting stations took place under judiciary supervision, which contributed to the opening of the stations on time and allowed voters to exercise their constitutional rights in a secure and organized environment.

The Interior Ministry expressed thanks and appreciation to citizens who voted and who contributed to an atmosphere of general order in a way that reflects the best of Bahrain. (MOI-Police Media Centre).
