Observing Democracy in Action: PACE's Role in Morocco's Parliamentary Elections
A delegation from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), consisting of 20 members, is set to travel to Morocco to oversee the parliamentary elections scheduled from September 21 to September 24, 2026. This significant event is aimed at ensuring the democratic process is upheld and that the elections are conducted fairly and transparently. The delegation will be led by Elisabetta Gardini from Italy, who serves as a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group.
The observation mission is an essential step in promoting democratic values and supporting the electoral process in Morocco. The delegation will meticulously assess various aspects of the elections, including the electoral environment, the conduct of the voting process, and the overall adherence to democratic norms. Following the elections, a press conference is planned for September 24 at the Hotel Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses, where the delegation will share insights and preliminary findings regarding the electoral process.
This initiative reflects the commitment of the Council of Europe to foster democracy and human rights across its member states and beyond. By facilitating a transparent electoral process, the PACE delegation aims to enhance public trust and engagement in Morocco’s political landscape. As reported by coe.int.
