Election Law Changes Ban Party Affiliation for Officials
The Council of Ministers in Jordan, chaired by Dr. Jafar Hassan, has approved the reasons for the draft amended Law of the Independent Election Commission for 2026. The aim is to update the provisions to enhance the Commission's capabilities and ensure transparency and integrity in electoral processes. The amendments specify clear election dates, regulate the management of digital campaigning, prevent Commission staff from belonging to political parties during their tenure to ensure neutrality, and authorize unpaid leave for candidates who are employees of the Commission, starting 90 days before the election. If they win, they are considered to have resigned. These updates aim to improve the efficiency and transparency of the Commission in line with legislative developments and political reforms in Jordan.
