The September 23 poll collective revealed in Rabat the framework for monitoring the legislative vote and warned about declining youth participation.
September 23 poll collective: what to know
On 17 September, the collective outlined its national monitoring operation. It brings together several civil society groups. The aim is to follow the entire cycle, from the pre-electoral phase to the handling of appeals.
Organizers stressed observer neutrality and independence. They described independent observation as a key guarantee of electoral transparency.
Legal changes noted
The collective pointed to recent legal shifts. Among them, a change in the seat allocation method. The previous quota based on registered voters was replaced by a system tied to valid votes cast.
Authorities also strengthened rules for female representation. New provisions regulate digital campaigning, including references to artificial intelligence and penalties for misuse.
