September 23 still feels far away.
But politically?
The countdown has already started.
Morocco is preparing for its legislative elections, scheduled for September 23, 2026, when voters will elect the members of the House of Representatives.
And the campaign is starting to move onto the ground.
Political parties are holding meetings.
Candidates are mobilizing.
Local campaigns are taking shape.
And for young Moroccans…
There’s one question that matters more than all the political speeches:
Can I actually vote?
Here’s the simple version.
If you’re Moroccan and you’re 18 years old—or turning 18 on September 23, 2026—you can be eligible to vote, provided you meet the legal requirements and are registered on the electoral lists.
And here’s the important part.
You can’t just show up on election day and register at the polling station.
Your name needs to be on the electoral list.
The official registration period for new voters ran from May 15 to June 13, 2026. So if you weren’t registered during that window, you can’t newly register now for this election through the ordinary procedure.
But you can—and absolutely should—check your registration status.
The Ministry of the Interior provides two easy ways to do it:
Go to the official electoral-list portal, listeselectorales.ma,
or send an SMS to the free number 2727 to verify your electoral information.
And there’s another important detail.
If you’ve moved since registering…
Your electoral address matters.
The authorities conducted an exceptional revision of the lists between May 15 and July 10, including transfers and updates of electoral addresses.
As of July, the updated electoral register contained around 15.8 million registered voters, including roughly 391,000 new registrations during that revision operation.
So…
If you’re 18+ and think you’re registered…
Don’t assume. Check.
Because September 23 isn’t about knowing who your friends are voting for.
It’s about knowing that your own vote is actually available to you.
And this election matters beyond the ballot itself.
The people elected to the House of Representatives will participate in shaping legislation and the country’s political direction.
That eventually connects to things young Moroccans care about every day:
Jobs.
Education.
Healthcare.
Housing.
Taxes.
Entrepreneurship.
Public spending.
So if you’ve ever said…
« Politics has nothing to do with me. »
Look at your bank account.
Look at your university.
Look at the job market.
Look at the price of things.
Politics is already there.
The real question is whether you’re participating in the decisions that shape it.
And one final reminder:
September 23, 2026.
That’s the date.
So before the campaign becomes just another stream of TikToks, posters and political speeches…
Check whether you’re on the list.
The real question is…
If young Moroccans are one of the groups most affected by decisions on jobs, education and the cost of living… will they actually show up on September 23 and make their voice count?
