يُصَوِّتُ الْمَغارِبَةُ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعاءِ، 23 شِتَنْبِرَ 2026، لِاخْتِيارِ أَعْضاءِ مَجْلِسِ النُّوّابِ. وَيُقَرِّرُ النّاخِبُونَ مَنْ سَيَشْغَلُ 395 مَقْعَدًا.

تَتَنافَسُ 28 حِزْبًا سِياسِيًّا، وَمِنْها تَحالُفٌ حِزْبِيٌّ، مَعَ قائِمَتَيْنِ لِمُرَشَّحِينَ مُسْتَقِلِّينَ. وَبَلَغَ عَدَدُ الْمُسَجَّلِينَ نَحْوَ 15.8 مِلْيونِ ناخِبٍ.

يَهْتَمُّ كَثيرٌ مِنَ الشَّبابِ بِفُرَصِ الْعَمَلِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ وَالصِّحَّةِ الْعامَّةِ فِي هٰذِهِ الْفَتْرَةِ فِي الْبِلادِ. وَيَأْمَلُ بَعْضُ الْمُرَشَّحِينَ الشَّبابِ أَنْ يُشارِكَ الشَّبابُ أَكْثَرَ فِي السِّياسَةِ.

وَتُمَثِّلُ الْفِئَةُ مِنْ 18 إِلى 24 عامًا نَحْوَ 4% مِنَ النّاخِبِينَ الْمُسَجَّلِينَ. لِذٰلِكَ، يَرى مُرَشَّحُونَ أَنَّ التَّصْوِيتَ خُطْوَةٌ لِسَماعِ مَطالِبِ الشَّبابِ.

Morocco’s Youth Seek Jobs and Better Services Before Election

Twenty-eight political parties are competing, including a party alliance, alongside two independent candidate lists. The number of registered voters has reached about 15.8 million.

Many young people are concerned about job opportunities, education, and public healthcare during this period in the country. Some young candidates hope that young people will take a greater part in politics.

People aged 18 to 24 make up about 4 percent of registered voters. Therefore, candidates see voting as a step towards hearing young people’s demands.
