Morocco’s Nov. 25 parliamentary elections – the first since popular protests earlier this year prompted a reform process and revisions to the country’s constitution – were conducted transparently, according to an international observation mission organized by NDI.

In its statement, the Institute noted that the lack of voter enthusiasm, calls for an election day boycott, and the significant number of invalid and spoiled ballots collectively “signal citizen interest in further and deeper reform.”

NDI is fielding an observer mission for Morocco’s Nov. 25 parliamentary elections.

The delegation is made up of 41 accredited observers from 21 countries who will deploy throughout Morocco on election day. The group includes 10 long-term observers who have been in the country since October 25 and who will remain through early December to observe post-election developments.
