Monitors register violations in teacher syndicate elections

AMMAN — The Civil Coalition for Monitoring Elections and the Performance of Elected Councils (Rasid) on Wednesday said it has recorded practices by the Jordan Teachers Association (JTA) elections committees that violate the integrity of the process, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Rasid said it dispatched 42 monitors around the Kingdom.

Reports from 9am to noon revealed that many teachers complained that their names were not on the voter list although they had paid their syndicate subscription fee. This was the case of more than 500 teachers around the Kingdom until noon. Other violations include candidates advertising for their campaigns within the premises of polling centres.
