Police in Tangier detained a person inside a polling station at Al Quds School in the Casabarata district on suspicion of possessing illegal ballot papers, sources told Hespress.
The sources said the investigation was still underway and that no decision had yet been taken against the detainee.
The arrest comes after videos showed representatives of competing electoral lists protesting what they described as suspicious practices involving a large number of neatly arranged envelopes inside a transparent ballot box.
The footage sparked disputes between party representatives in the Tangier-Asilah constituency.
Prosecutors at the Tangier Court of Appeal have opened a separate judicial investigation into the circulating video to establish the facts and determine whether any legal action is warranted.
