Elections officials are seen waiting for voters in a polling station in Sanabis, Bahrain, Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011. Shiite-led opposition groups called for a boycott of parliamentary elections to protest crackdowns. Voting appears very light in most Shiite areas, although busier in districts with Sunni voters who are considered backers of the Gulf kingdom's monarchy.
