TunisiaJordanian House of Representatives on its way to become full electronic Parliament, thanks to EU
“We are proud to jointly introduce the Electronic Conference and Voting System, which was procured by the EU-JDID programme with the financial support of the European Union. It is a milestone for the House of Representatives on its way to become a full electronic Parliament,” said the Ambassador of the EU to Jordan, H.E. Ambassador Andrea Matteo Fontana, at the opening ceremony to celebrate the final installation of the Electronic Conference and Voting System in the House of Representatives.
In addition to the Conference and Voting System, the E-Parliament also includes electronic library, electronic documentation and archiving, registration of citizens concerns, website and intranet. Furthermore, EU-JDID provides assistance to procure and install soft and hardware for these mentioned items. Tablet computers for MPs and staffers are successfully functioning since the end of 2017.
The European Union-funded programme “EU Support to Jordanian Democratic Institutions and Development – EU-JDID” aims at supporting Jordan’s reform process towards consolidation of democracy and at promoting inclusiveness of national policy and decision-making processes. It also intends to enhance women and youth inclusion and to foster a stronger democratic and tolerant political culture.
