AMMAN — The number of voters exceeded 1.30 million by 6:30pm, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) said Tuesday.

A total of 1,313,636 voters had cast their ballots by the late afternoon, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported, citing IEC figures.

Of these total voters, 673,371 are men, and 640,265 are women, Petra reported.

The number of eligible voters stands at 4,130,145, according to the IEC.

Voting for the parliamentary elections started across the Kingdom at 7am and will continue until 7pm.

The total number of voters in the 2013 elections stood at 1,288,043, Petra reported.

Earlier, five voters were referred to the prosecutor in Irbid's 3rd District for electoral fraud, Petra said, quoting the head of the district's electoral committee, Mahmoud Abu Jaber.

The official said the violations included two cases of voter impersonation and three incidents where the voters took photos of the ballot paper.
