The voting process in the elections of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce in Taif for the session (1444 H-1448H) commenced Monday at 09:00 am Monday.
The session will last until nine o'clock next Wednesday evening, according to the new Chambers of Commerce Law, which aims to enhance transparency and raise the efficiency of the chambers' performance.
Fourteen individuals, including a businesswoman, are running for half of the chamber's 12 Board seats in the Taif Chamber elections.
The Ministry of Commerce’s monitoring and complaints committees met with candidates to discuss the electoral process' mechanisms and controls, as well as the restrictions that candidates must avoid.
The Ministry urged chamber candidates to compete fairly, observe the rules, regulations, and guidelines, and respect the rights of other candidates, including refraining from interfering in their election campaigns.
