"We are pleased to see Bahraini citizens all over the world participating in the democratic process. It is important to us that all citizens of Bahrain have the opportunity to vote and it is important to the people of Bahrain that their voice is heard," said Nawaf Alma Awadah, chief public prosecutor and elections executive director.

Overseas voters will cast their vote on Tuesday between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time ahead of national polls on Saturday. If there is a second round of voting, which occurs when no candidate secures a majority of over 50 percent, a re-run will take place on Oct. 26 for voters overseas.

Voters residing overseas or citizens who were expecting to be traveling overseas on the day of elections were able to register to vote overseas between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5 by phone, fax or through the official website.

Any voters that find their situation has changed and cannot get to the embassy or diplomatic mission will still be able to cast their vote at either the local polling station they are registered to or at one of the 10 general polling stations on election day in Bahrain, and on Oct. 30 if their constituency requires a second round.

Voters must produce their passport to vote at one of the overseas temporary polling stations.
