In August 1993, Parliament passed "The Law Amending the Law of Election to the House of Deputies for the Year 1993" which adjusted Jordan's electoral system to the principle of  "one person, one vote". The provisional law ended the previous voting system, whereby voters were entitled to as many votes as the number of parliamentary seats allocated for their district. This new law divides the country into 20 electoral constituencies, each with a certain allotment of seats in the Lower House of Parliament.

In order to  ensure adequate representation, Jordan also reserves a number of parliamentary seats for the country's minorities. Of the 71 seats for Muslim deputies, six are reserved for Bedouins while three go to Circassians and Chechens. The remaining nine seats go to Christian deputies.
