AMMAN — Professional
association elections are allowed to take place as long
as they conform to COVID-19 health protocols,
Minister of Political and Parliamentary Affairs Musa Al- Maaytah said, according to JO24.

Maaytah
said that associations wishing to hold elections are required to coordinate
with the
Ministry of Health and other health authorities. He said the
government has given the green light to the elections of the Jordan Press
Association and the Jordanian Geologists Association, and will not object to
other elections, provided that they take place under prevalent health
protocols.
The
minister’s statements follow requests by the Professional Associations Council earlier
this month that association elections be exempt from the health measures
implemented under Defense Order 35.
Implementing
the COVID-19 protocols pertaining to
PCR tests and vaccination certificates
during the meetings and elections of the associations would represent a
“transgression” on the associations’ bylaws, according to the council, Al-Rai
daily reported.
