Early parliamentary elections were held in Jordan on 23 January 2013. All 150 seats in the House of Representatives were up for election. Voter turnout was reported to be 56.6%.[1]

Election results

Of the 150 available seats, 15 seats were reserved for women, 9 for Christians, 9 for Bedouins, 3 for Chechen or Circassian candidates. A further 27 seats were chosen on the national level, rather than on a constituency basis.[2] The final results of the elections were available on 28 January 2013.[3] More than 90 of the 150 chosen Representatives were new to the House of Representatives.[4] It was reported that a total of 37 Representatives can be seen as Islamist or critical of the government.[2]
