Candidate Ads on Social Media Can Lead to Penalties
The election campaign in Morocco for the parliamentary elections began on September 10, 2026. Twenty-seven parties are competing for 395 seats in the House of Representatives, with a total of 15.8 million registered voters. The campaign focuses on educating voters about the parties' programs through social media, with legal oversight of paid electoral advertisements. Violations, such as posting ads or posts for payment on foreign online platforms, can lead to fines ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 dirhams. Additionally, the law imposes strict penalties on election day, with imprisonment from 3 to 6 months and fines up to 50,000 dirhams for anyone distributing or publishing electoral materials directly or via social media, in order to ensure the transparency of the electoral process.
