Program Introduction

The Electoral and Parliamentary Studies program was launched in 1993 with the publication of several studies on Jordan’s parliamentary elections in 1989 and 1993. This program studies parliamentary elections and different aspects of the electoral process, such as campaigning, voting and polling, both in Jordan and the Arab world. It also aims to develop techniques and methods to analyze and monitor elections in order to ensure fairness and transparency and to increase public awareness of the importance of electoral participation. The program devotes special attention to the impact of electoral systems on democracy, in particular on political parties and minority representation.
