Morocco’s special commission for accrediting election observers has opened applications for national and international monitors ahead of the September 23, 2026 parliamentary elections.

The commission, chaired by National Human Rights Council (CNDH) president Amina Bouayach, said applications will be accepted from April 27 until May 22, with final decisions expected by June 17.

Eligible applicants include national institutions, civil society organizations and international NGOs with recognized experience in election monitoring. Observers must meet independence criteria, including not being candidates in the elections and committing to a charter governing neutral observation.

Applications can be submitted online via the CNDH platform or filed directly at its headquarters in Rabat.

The process is governed by constitutional provisions and laws regulating independent election monitoring, aimed at ensuring transparency and credibility.

The commission said it will prioritize diversity in geographic representation and gender, as well as participation by organizations working on disability rights, as part of efforts to broaden inclusive electoral oversight.
