The study investigates the trends of the Jordanian society regarding political parties and the Parliament. In cooperation with Global Partners and Associates, Al-Hayat Center for Civil Society
Development conducted a study to investigate the trends within the Jordanian Society
regarding Political Parties and the Parliament post to 2013 Jordanian parliamentary elections,
as a continuation of the previously implemented efforts which aimed at gauging people’s
political knowledge, their relations with political parties and their stand regarding the 2013
parliamentary elections. This post-election study looks into citizens’ electoral behavior in
the 2013 parliamentary elections, their post-implementation views on the newly introduced
proportional representation system (the party list system), as well as their expectations on the
17th Jordanian Parliament, and their initial impressions on the performance of the MPs.
This study comes in line with Al-Hayat’s work on enhancing democratic development and
supporting electoral reform in Jordan.
