Madar (Rabat) - Morocco's Interior Ministry has given political parties until November 15, 2026, to submit proposals for changes to the electoral laws governing the 2027 elections, news site Hespress reported on Thursday, October 29, 2026, citing a ministry statement.
The deadline was announced at a meeting on Thursday afternoon between the interior minister and the leaders of several political parties, part of consultations launched under royal instructions to prepare the legal framework for the next elections. It followed similar talks on Wednesday with parties represented by parliamentary groups or caucuses, widening the consultations to parties outside those groups.
The 2027 electoral cycle covers communal, provincial and regional councils, professional chambers, employee representatives and the House of Councillors, the upper chamber of Parliament.
According to the same source, the talks focused on possible legislative amendments, in particular whether to extend to the upcoming contests the measures introduced before the September 23, 2026, House of Representatives elections, including provisions aimed at strengthening electoral integrity and preventing misconduct during campaigning and voting.
Party representatives presented preliminary observations, and the ministry asked for written proposals before the deadline to help draft amendments, which will then enter the legislative process. The ministry described the discussions as positive, frank and responsible.
