Candidate registration for next month's Parliamentary elections started yesterday, and will run until tomorrow afternoon.
- Total number of registered candidates yesterday was 805
- Out of those, approximately 15.8% were women
- The women's quota is 6 seats out of 110, around 5.5% (there were hopes and suggestions to raise it to 12, one seat per governorate)
- Five of the six women who were in the previous Parliament registered to run again
A great resource for updated news on the elections is Abu Mahjoob's Observatory for the Parliamentary Elections (Oo3a), as well as Ammon News.
