Procedure for Submitting Candidacy Declarations
According to the statement, the submission process for candidacy declarations will occur in two distinct phases. The first phase requires candidates to submit their declarations via the designated electronic platform, while the second phase involves submitting the original application documents directly to the relevant authority responsible for receiving these declarations.
To facilitate the electronic submission, each candidate or their representative must access the website www.elections.ma, where they will fill out the electronic version of the candidacy declaration and upload the necessary accompanying documents in the designated section titled 'Candidacy Declaration.' This platform will be accessible starting at 8 AM on Monday, August 31, 2026, and will close at 12 PM on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
For their convenience, candidates may utilize personal computers or any other electronic devices to complete this task. Additionally, they have the option to visit the offices of the relevant authorities, where equipped rooms with the necessary technical facilities will be available for use during official working hours, including weekends, throughout the registration period. Candidates may also bring along a person of their choice to assist them in the electronic submission process.
After completing the online submission, candidates must present the original application documents to the relevant authority at the designated office on the date and time specified in the temporary receipt they downloaded from the electronic platform. It is important to note that the online submission of the candidacy declaration is a mandatory step before candidates can deposit their original application files with the authority responsible for receiving these declarations.
For further information regarding the submission process for candidacy declarations, interested parties are encouraged to visit the website www.elections.ma for detailed instructions and guidelines.
The Minister of Interior also reminds candidates and their representatives that the official election campaign will commence at 12 AM on Thursday, September 10, 2026, and conclude at 12 AM on Tuesday, September 22, 2026.
