Amman Governor Qaftan Majali on Monday reiterated controversial demands that women wearing the full-face veil reveal their faces at polling stations in Amman in upcoming nationwide municipal elections in a bid to wipe out possible fraud. Official figures indicate that 50 per cent of over one million Jordanians registered to vote in Wednesday’s [July 14, 1999] elections for the country’s 304 municipal elections, are women. Only a few women wear the full black veil over their face in a conservative Muslim country, although many wear the hijab (a scarf which covers only the hair) in line with Quranic teachings.
