Municipal council (Jordan)

Municipal council (Arabic: المجلس البلدي Al-Majlis Al-Baladi) is the elected assembly of the Municipality in Jordan. The first municipal councils were established in Jordan in 1925, and were elected consistently till today.[1]

The latest amendment to the Municipalities law divided the Kingdom into 100 municipalities; 82 municipalities with 355 local councils, and 18 municipalities with none (due to their small size). Each local council consists of 5 members, including at least one woman. The highest voted for members of the local council is assigned a seat in the municipal council, whose number depends on what is assigned to each local council.[2]
