The Independent Election Commission is looking for ways to cooperate with the Judicial Council
The Independent Election Commission discussed ways of cooperation and joint coordination with the Jordanian Judicial Council in order to consolidate the principle of openness to partners, including the judicial body, because of its role in adjudicating electoral appeals and enhancing integrity in the electoral process.
Ammar Al-Husseini, a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Independent Election Commission, confirmed that this program, which comes under the title "Judiciary and Electoral Justice," has been divided into several dialogue sessions in cooperation with judges of the Magistrate's Courts and Courts of First Instance.
Al-Husseini added that the first session of the program will address the general framework of the commission, and the second session is devoted to guarantees of integrity and international standards and best practices for the integrity of elections, while the focus of the third session will be the electoral cycle in all its stages.
In turn, Dr. Abeer Dababneh, a member of the Board of Commissioners of the Independent Election Commission, indicated that this program is a continuation of what the commission started in previous years, where it had previously held dialogue sessions on electoral appeals in cooperation with the Judicial Council, whose numbers reached nearly one thousand judges, where the dialogue sessions were distributed by regions in the north, center and south.
Dababneh also praised the role of the judiciary in achieving electoral justice and its cooperation with the Independent Election Commission to serve the electoral process in all its stages. She noted that the commission had organized the electoral moot court program with the participation of students of law schools in Jordanian universities in front of a judicial body of the Judicial Council which was formed for this purpose.
