Moroccans are voting in legislative elections on September 23, 2026, with 15.8 million voters choosing among 7,288 candidates from 27 political parties. These elections follow a surge of young Moroccans migrating to the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. Official data indicated that youth unemployment for those aged 15 to 24 was 37 percent in 2025.
