IRI commends Sahara election transparency
The International Republican Institute praised the integrity and organization of the legislative elections held on September 23rd in the southern regions of Morocco, particularly in the regions of Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra and Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab. Voter turnout was 77% and 61%, respectively, compared to 38.08% nationwide. The assessment also highlighted positive evaluations regarding the transparency of the process and the management by the incumbent authorities, noting a significant increase in participation compared to the 2021 and 2016 elections. However, the report pointed to some professional observations, such as a lack of instructions within the polling stations, difficulties in safeguarding voters' privacy, and suspicions of vote-buying. It called for increased oversight and improved electoral procedures in the future. The report also commended the legislative reforms undertaken prior to the elections, emphasizing the importance of establishing an independent electoral body under joint supervision to ensure greater transparency and integrity.
