| Abstract | ||
| This study addressed the issue of electoral appeals under Jordanian legislation (club elections as an example), where the Jordanian legislator guaranteed those harmed by the electoral process to resort to the judiciary and challenge the election results according to specific legal methods. Here the following problem arises: the extent to which the Jordanian legislator is able to guarantee the electoral process in a way that ensures adherence to the principle of legality. The study reached results, the most important of which is that the Jordanian legislator established specific legal controls to ensure that the principle of legality is not violated with regard to the electoral process in general and club elections in particular. The study also concluded that parliamentary or municipal electoral appeals are subject to regular courts, as stipulated in Article (5) of The Jordanian Administrative Judiciary Law stipulates the powers of the Administrative Court to hear appeals, including appeals related to Jordanian club elections. The study recommends that all electoral appeals by parliamentary, municipal, unions, clubs or associations be placed under the jurisdiction of the administrative judiciary due to its precise jurisdiction and speed of completion. The study also recommends that the aim of the appeal should not only be cancellation, but rather correct the result if possible and announce the winner of the election. Without canceling and resorting to new elections. | ||
