International movements to monitor legislative elections in Laayoune

In the context of international monitoring for the upcoming legislative elections scheduled for Wednesday, September 23, 2026, Moulay Hamdi Ould Errachid, mayor of Laayoune and parliamentary candidate for the same district, received a delegation from the International Republican Institute (IRI), which is visiting the Kingdom of Morocco as an observer of the electoral process.

Discussion topics: From public turnout to political participation

The meeting focused on assessing the atmosphere of the election campaign in the Laayoune province. Both sides discussed turnout levels at campaign rallies and the involvement rates of youth and women in political work. The meeting also addressed the party’s election programs at the regional level, their implementation mechanisms, and discussions on ways to preserve Sahrawi heritage within local political programs.

Participation stakes in the southern provinces

Current data point to expectations of high participation rates in the Sahara regions on election day, given the notable engagement of the population in various campaign activities and the voters’ desire to choose their representatives in the legislative body. For its part, the American delegation prioritizes assessing the effectiveness of youth participation in the electoral process, in an attempt to understand the dynamics of political work in the southern provinces of the Kingdom.
