Moroccans vote on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, to elect the 395 seats of the House of Representatives, the 12th legislative election since independence, with 28 parties and two lists of independent candidates running, according to the government’s official portal Maroc.ma.

The registered electorate stands at 15,801,162, of whom 55% live in urban areas and 46% are women, the portal says. Polls open at 8 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. local time, and preliminary results usually come the following day, according to Reuters. France 24 reports that the vote follows a rush of migrants to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta and comes amid young people’s disenchantment with politics, with turnout read as a barometer of confidence in elected institutions.
