Members of the Saudi royal family are not entering the race, as they already enjoy ultimate political power. But, sensing the public’s excitement, they have made sure to be photographed by local and international media while registering to get their electoral ID card.
大约有4万名沙特人将竞争178个市政委员会中的1700个席位。人们的热情显而易见，投票活动也进行得如火如荼。由于沙特皇室成员早已掌控了绝对政治权力因而并未加入角逐。但是，当感受到民众们的满腔热情后，皇室成员决定登记申请竞选身份证并允许国内外媒体摄影。
