The number of male and female candidates for the Riyadh Chamber Board of Directors after the withdrawals reached 70 candidates, including 50 in the category of merchants and 18 in the category of industrialists, while the number of eligible voters reached 80 thousand male and female voters.

A number of candidates pushed a request to the supervisory committee to allow voters to authorize people to vote on their behalf if they are unable to attend the election centers. <A number of male and female candidates submitted a request to the supervisory committee to allow voters to authorize people to vote on their behalf if they are unable to attend the election centers, objecting to the requirement that the delegate must be registered in the commercial register and authorized to sign in the Chamber of Commerce, However, these demands faced strong opposition from other candidates because allowing this may cause chaos and possibly buying and selling and others, stressing that they prefer that male and female voters who vote for male and female candidates are interested in voting to serve the business sector and nominate whoever they deem worthy of the vote and not voting for other purposes.

This came during the meeting of the committee supervising the Riyadh Chamber elections with the candidates at the Chamber's headquarters, which was held with the aim of clarifying the mechanisms, controls and other aspects related to the electoral process and to select three observers for each electoral center and three observers for the main center in Riyadh representing the candidates in the electoral process.

During the meeting, the candidates also asked the supervisory committee to extend the period allocated for female voters on Sunday and Monday and to be from nine in the morning until nine at night and not only for the evening period as approved in the election schedule, and the committee agreed to this, and will also consider allocating female employees in the Chamber branches outside Riyadh to receive female voters there

The election system stipulates that the electoral system will be based on the electoral process. The Election Law stipulates that the owners and owners of enterprises can be represented only by managers whose names are registered in the commercial register, while companies are represented by the director, chairman, managing director or one of the members of the board of directors whose names are registered in the commercial register, and what some male and female candidates are asking for is to cancel the requirement «whose name is registered in the commercial register» so that some voters can authorize someone on election days to vote on their behalf.
