Spread the news

Around 18 million Moroccans are expected to cast their ballots in pivotal legislative and regional elections on September 8, amid strict safety guidelines for campaigning parties, as the North African country grapples with a new wave of COVID-19 driven mainly by the delta variant.

The political parties are going to the streets in small groups of a maximum of 25 members and have intensified their campaigns on social media following the restrictions imposed due to the pandemic.

In addition to changes in the way the parties campaign, the pandemic has also been one of the main concerns of the voters, who are hoping the elections can bring changes and help to overcome the economic crisis deepened by COVID-19.
