Polling stations close on time for 2024 parliamentary elections
Polling stations across Jordan officially closed at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, in line with the country’s election law. However, voters already inside polling stations at closing time were still permitted to cast their ballots.
Once it was confirmed that no voters remained inside the polling stations, officials sealed the ballot boxes with red wax and began preparations for the vote-counting process. Strict measures were enforced, with no one allowed to enter or exit the vote-counting halls where the ballot boxes were gathered.
