Moroccan elections favor vulnerable groups
Elections in Morocco focus on the poorest, illiterate, and elderly segments living in fragile conditions. The electoral campaign is carried out in a manner that does not reflect the aspirations of the educated and affluent classes. Instead, it primarily targets popular and informal neighborhoods. Meanwhile, there is a low participation rate among the educated and the middle class, which are typically the most active demographics in long-standing democracies. This situation reflects a continuing approach that directs campaigns toward the weakest segments, relying on campaign slogans that lack substantive political programs. Moreover, the high illiteracy rate—where a quarter of citizens cannot read or write—deepens the gap in political discourse and negatively impacts political and social awareness. This dynamic perpetuates a negative perception of elections and results in a lack of genuine representation for the more educated and informed segments, with ongoing emphasis on social and class factors in voting behavior.
