Government Releases Guidelines for 2026 Industrial Chamber Elections

Amman: Three sets of executive instructions related to the 2026 elections for the boards of directors of industrial chambers and representatives of industrial sectors have been published in Official Gazette No. 6056. The newly issued instructions cover the preparation of voter rolls and candidate lists, the formation of election committees, voting, ballot counting, and vote tabulation procedures, as well as the rules governing election campaign activities.

According to Jordan News Agency, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) had previously set Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, as the date for voting in the elections for members of the boards of directors of the industrial chambers and representatives of the industrial sectors. If the general assembly meeting fails to achieve the required legal quorum, voting will instead be held on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026. The nomination period will run from Aug. 26 to Sept. 9, 2026.
