Morocco votes close as count begins
The polling stations in Morocco closed their doors at 7:00 p.m., and the vote counting process for the parliamentary elections began. These elections are held to select the 395 members of the House of Representatives. Approximately 28.05% of registered voters, out of around 15.8 million, participated in the vote. In these elections, 7,288 candidates from 28 parties competed for positions of power, focusing on important issues such as purchasing power, employment, social protection, and anti-corruption measures. The electoral system features a distribution of seats between local and regional constituencies, with voters electing members of parliament through a list system. The process is overseen by a central committee from the Ministry of Interior, with local and international monitoring involving more than 3,000 observers. These elections serve as a test of party cohesion and competition within a political context that will shape the future government, after the Moroccan monarch selects a figure from the winning party to form the new government.
