As Morocco’s 2026 elections approach, the question of voting rights and representation for Moroccans living abroad is once again sparking debate. While there is broad agreement on the importance of including Moroccans around the world in the process, political parties have yet to agree on how to put this into practice. This is the main takeaway from ongoing consultations with the Ministry of the Interior on reforming the general electoral code.
The Party of Progress and Socialism (PPS) is advocating for the direct participation of Moroccans living abroad in the legislative elections scheduled for September 2026. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Mohamed Nabil Benabdellah called for an electoral process that includes overseas constituencies, supported by the mobilization of consular services.
