AMMAN — The Jordan Press Association (JPA) Council on Monday announced the establishment of a "monitoring room" at its headquarters to oversee election-related activities and address feedback or complaints from journalists covering the elections.

In a press statement, JPA President Rakan Saaideh emphasised that the monitoring room aims to ensure that journalists can perform their duties without obstacles, enabling them to deliver comprehensive coverage of the election process to the public.
