Voting for Jordan's 19th parliamentary elections started at 7 am Tuesday. Polling stations will remain open for citizens to vote until 7pm, followed by two hours during which quarantined citizens are allowed to enter stations to vote.

The Independent Election Commission announced Monday that a total of 4,647,835 citizens have registered to vote — 2,200,456 men and 2,447,379 women.

The House of Representatives has 130 members, all of which will be elected based on 23 electoral districts.

The elections have started as scheduled despite the coronavirus crisis. Jordan has recorded a total of 114,986 COVID-19 cases and 1,295 deaths since the beginning of the crisis in March.
