The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry is considering allowing voters to use digital identification on mobile phones for the 31st Board of Directors elections, officials announced.

The move aims to prevent business owners from being turned away over forgotten or missing documents.

During a press briefing, Election Committee Chairman Abbas Abdulmohsen Radhi, alongside members Ghassan Qassim Fakhr and Rashid Abdulrahman Ibrahim, confirmed that voters can also present a national ID card, passport, or driving licence, even if expired, as proof of identity.

Dr. Shaima Abdulla Juma, Director of Legal Affairs, provided details on the legal framework for the elections.
