The election campaign for the September 8 polls started on Thursday (00H00), marking the beginning of an important step towards the consolidation of democratic practice in Morocco.
The campaign, which will end Tuesday, September 7 at midnight, is an opportunity for political parties in the running to present and defend before the voters their programs and economic, social and cultural projects in order to convince them to adhere to the approaches they advocate to overcome the challenges facing the country.
In the context of the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, political parties will be obliged to adjust their communication strategies, to use digital techniques (videoconferencing, hybrid meetings, etc.), to limit conventional meetings to a minimum and to scrupulously observe the restrictions in force against the pandemic.
Given this exceptional and unprecedented context, political parties are called upon to develop a roadmap that is flexible and easily adaptable to the pandemic situation, adjusting their communication techniques with the measures recommended by the health authorities and the government's guidelines for managing the pandemic.
The election campaign was preceded by the filing of candidacies for the general elections, an operation that took place from August 16 to 25 at midnight.
