Moroccan legislative elections House of Representatives PAM party voter turnout purchasing power

Morocco held legislative elections on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, to renew 395 seats in the House of Representatives. Approximately 15.8 million voters are registered, with a demographic split of 54% men and 46% women. The election features 28 political parties and 1,850 candidate lists, with 7,288 total candidates competing for seats.

Key political issues driving the election include purchasing power, employment, and social protection. The PAM party has proposed several measures, including raising the minimum pension to 3,000 dirhams per month, increasing direct social assistance to 1,000 dirhams, and revising income tax brackets to increase net monthly income for workers by 1,500 to 4,000 dirhams. PAM also suggested potential electricity bill exemptions for low-consumption households and reforming distribution chains to reduce the influence of intermediaries on food prices.

Early reports indicated a participation rate of 4.23% within the first two hours of voting. The election results will determine the composition of the next parliament and the formation of the government majority, with the King appointing the Head of Government from the leading party. Challenges remain regarding youth engagement, as those aged 18-24 represent only 4% of the electorate, and addressing economic concerns such as inflation and unemployment.
