The electoral campaign for Algeria’s local elections, involving the renewal of Communal People's Assemblies (APC) and Provincial People's Assemblies (APW), is currently in progress. The campaign period is scheduled to run for 23 days, concluding three days before the vote on November 28.

To manage media coverage, the National Independent Authority for Elections (ANIE) allocated 800 three-minute slots across television and radio stations via a lottery system. The election involves 6,065 total lists and 162,864 candidates.

Political parties have mobilized nationwide to present programs focused on local management, job creation, and public services. The Rassemblement National Démocratique (RND) is promoting programs tailored to regional economic needs, with RND Secretary General Monder Bouden advocating in Skikda for a participatory management approach based on consultation. The Movement of Society for Peace (MSP) is advocating for increased decision-making powers for local officials and reforms to local financing. The Workers' Party (PT) is emphasizing the need for increased municipal budgets.

Other parties, including Tajamoue Amel Djazaïr (TAJ), Sawt Echaâb, Mouvement El-Bina, and Front El Moustakbel, are centering their platforms on transparency, citizen participation, and sustainable development. A recurring theme is the desire to transform local authorities into drivers of economic initiative.

Regarding security, General Saïd Chanegriha, Chief of Staff of the People's National Army (ANP), reaffirmed the military's commitment to securing the process. He described the vote as a national event essential for consolidating democratic institutions and building a “new Algeria,” stating the military will ensure a stable and serene environment for voters.
