AMMAN — The National Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) on Wednesday issued its report on the 2017 local elections.
The report included results of the observation that measured the level of applying laws regulating the elections, such as preparing election lists, contestation period on initial voter lists, candidacy period, campaigning, voting and sorting, and addressing complaints and objections, according to an NCHR statement.
In general, the centre stressed that the municipality and governorate council elections were “generally free and transparent” and achieved high turnout by women, despite some shortcomings related to work relations between the governorate councils, municipal councils and local councils, among others.
