Municipal council election update
The Jordanian House of Representatives approved Article 36 of the Local Governance Law Project for 2026, which regulates the duration of municipal councils, the procedures for dissolving them, delaying elections, and managing municipalities during transitional periods. The article specifies that the council's term lasts four years, and a temporary committee must be appointed to manage the municipality if the elected council is dissolved, with new elections to be held within one year. It also maintains the possibility of delaying elections for more than six months if public interests so necessitate, and grants the Council of Ministers the authority to dissolve councils, linking this to the appointment of a temporary committee and setting a one-year deadline for holding elections, to ensure the continuity of council work during transitional phases.
