Morocco legislative elections see low turnout amid Gen Z apathy

Morocco held legislative elections on September 23, 2026, with the outgoing ruling coalition, led by the Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), winning but falling short of an absolute majority. Voter turnout was a record-low 38%, confirmed across multiple sources, indicating significant voter apathy, particularly among young voters. This outcome necessitates coalition talks and raises concerns about the legitimacy and stability of the incoming government.
