Abstract

This study aims at unveiling of voters from West Irbid area of internal challenges that stand against delegates to have a seat under the parliament dome. The following hypothesis of this study: There is a relationship between personal variables and internal challenges that face voters from that region. To fulfill the purpose of this study and to prove the hypothesis, the researchers used the descriptive analysis approach and design two types of questionnaire: The first for demographic characteristics, the second for internal challenges and solutions. However, the researchers distributed almost 1500 questionnaires: 998 for males and 502 for females. We received 859 responses for males, three of them are not correct, and we distributed 502 questionnaires to females and we received 444 questionnaires therefore the total number questionnaires is 1300. Thus, the result of this research supports the validity of this hypothesis. The researchers have different conclusions, first, the most predominant internal challenges of voters from West Irbid area, the absence of big tribe to resolve the matter for their candidates because tribes are scattered geographically here and there. Second, tribes bias which makes voters vote for their relative who lived outside his area. While the researchers find the best resolutions to make West Irbid area one geographic unit. Finally, the best recommendations are to spread consciousness among voters in the region because they coexist within their midst very familiar with their needs. In addition to what we recommend to activate political participation for the best interest of the West Irbid area.
