The European Union (EU) has deployed 28 long-term observers across Jordan in preparation for the upcoming parliamentary elections.
These observers are tasked with monitoring the electoral process throughout the country.
In addition to the long-term observers, the EU’s election observation mission will be bolstered by 38 short-term observers just before election day.
Overall, more than 100 observers from EU member states, as well as Canada, Norway, and Switzerland, will be monitoring the voting process, ballot counting, and the final tabulation of results.
Delphine Blanchet, the Deputy Chief Observer of the EU mission, announced in a press conference that the observers will cover all regions of Jordan, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of the entire electoral process, even after the polls close.
The mission is set to release its preliminary findings shortly after election day, with a final report to be issued by the end of December 2024.
Blanchet emphasized the mission’s commitment to neutrality, noting that the observers have received detailed briefings on Jordan’s electoral laws and procedures.
The EU’s election observation mission is conducting a thorough analysis of the electoral process, including the legal framework, election administration, campaign activities, media conduct, voting and counting procedures, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
This mission was deployed in response to an invitation from Jordan’s Independent Election Commission, which requested the EU’s presence to ensure transparent and fair elections.
