Key Information for Voters Ahead of the September 2026 ElectionsThe Ministry of Interior has issued a crucial announcement in light of the upcoming legislative elections set to take place on Wednesday, September 23, 2026. Starting from Monday, August 24, 2026, local administrative authorities will begin distributing notifications to voters. These notifications will inform them of the locations of their respective polling stations, with the distribution continuing until 6 PM on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, the day before the elections.The official statement from the Ministry clarifies that the purpose of this notification is primarily to ensure voters are aware of the polling station where they will cast their votes, while also reminding them of the election date and the voting hours. It is important to note that while this notification is beneficial, it is not mandatory for exercising the right to vote. The only official document required for identification during the voting process will be the national identity card, which serves as proof of identity for voters on election day.Moreover, for Moroccan voters residing outside the country, the Ministry has outlined provisions under the regulatory law No. 27.11 concerning the House of Representatives, which grants them the right to vote through a proxy. The online platform designated for creating voting proxies will be accessible from Monday, August 24, 2026, until 12 PM on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. This platform will enable voters living abroad to appoint a proxy of their choice, who must be registered on the general electoral list of any municipality within Morocco, to vote on their behalf.To utilize this online service, Moroccan voters living outside the kingdom must access either of the following websites: www.elections.ma or www.listeselectorales.ma. They will need to input their information along with the details of the appointed proxy, verify the information, and confirm its accuracy, acknowledging that they have personally completed the proxy form and that the details provided are correct.In conclusion, once the proxy has been established, it is essential for voters residing abroad to download a copy of the proxy and send it via email or traditional mail to the proxy they have chosen for voting on their behalf on election day.As reported by agadirinfo.ma.
