Jordanians head to polls today

Jordanians will head to the polling stations today to elect 1,135 governorate and municipal council representatives.

Some 4,602,135 people, including 2,437,340 women, are eligible to vote in Tuesday’s elections.

The final official number of individuals registered to run for the elections is 4,646, including 846 women.

However, a candidate passed away recently and a second was appointed in a government position in Aqaba, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) Spokesperson Mohammad Rawashdeh said.

IEC officials said earlier this week that some 5,000 individuals, including 100 international persons, will be monitoring the elections.
