The EU Long-Term Observers (LTOs) work in teams of two and come from different EU Member States. These two criteria are important to enhance the credibility and reliability of their observations and to ensure a balance in the analysis. In Jordan, 11 teams of LTOs were deployed in the Governorates of Irbid, Mafraq, Ajloun, Jerash, Zarqa, Balqa, Madaba, Karak, Tafilah, Maan and Aqaba, while three more teams are covering the capital Amman.

Following an invitation from the Independent Election Commission of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the European Union has deployed an Election Observation Mission (EOM) for the 10 September 2024 parliamentary elections. The EU Election Observation Mission was led by Chief Observer Željana Zovko, a Member of the European Parliament from Croatia. In total, the mission comprised around 100 observers from the 27 EU Member States and Norway. A Core Team of 11 analysts arrived in Amman on 28 July. The Core Team assesses all aspects and stages of the electoral process, including electoral, legal, political and media issues. They are supported by logistical and security experts. Twenty-eight Long-Term Observers (LTOs) were deployed on 16 August to cover all 12 governorates. They observed the electoral process in their areas and reported to the Core Team in Amman. Shortly before election day, they were joined by 38 Short-Term Observers (STOs). On election day, the mission was reinforced by observers from EU diplomatic missions accredited to Jordan, as well as from Canada, Norway and Switzerland. A delegation of Members of the European Parliament also joined the EU EOM.
