Student Council Elections at Arab Open University – Jordan to Commence on Saturday
The Student Council elections at Arab Open University in Jordan are scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 12, 2025. During this event, students will cast their votes to elect their representatives to the Student Council. These elections occur at a time when Jordan is witnessing growing interest in youth engagement, particularly in shaping the future and actively participating in decision-making processes at various levels.
This electoral process reflects the Royal Vision, which consistently emphasizes the necessity of supporting and empowering young people to become agents of change in the coming phase. His Majesty King Abdullah II has repeatedly underscored the importance of youth empowerment and the need to enhance their participation in public life, considering them the nation's hope and a cornerstone in building its future. In this context, the Student Council elections present a genuine opportunity for students to demonstrate their leadership capabilities and to contribute to decisions that influence their academic and social lives.
Dr. Sameer Al-Sous, Director of Student Affairs, stated that academic institutions play a pivotal role in fostering student leadership and enhancing young people's ability to address future challenges. Arab Open University is committed to conducting these elections with transparency and accuracy. To this end, an electoral management committee has been formed, comprising a group of experts and specialists tasked with supervising the electoral process and ensuring its integrity.
Voting will commence on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and will continue until 4:00 p.m., after which the vote counting process will begin, followed by the announcement of the results. These elections aim to reinforce the principles of transparency and fairness while empowering students to freely select their representatives.
The Student Council elections at Arab Open University are not merely an academic event; rather, they serve as a tangible embodiment of His Majesty's vision for youth empowerment and active civic engagement. This initiative represents a meaningful step toward building a promising future that reflects the ambitions and leadership potential of Jordanian youth.
