Young people neglect the legislative system one year after the outbreak of Generation Z: only 4% of children under 24 are registered to vote
Few Moroccans under 30 – a demographic that has felt ignored by political parties and institutions – are running as candidates. Young Moroccans will likely deplore their disillusionment through massive abstention in the September 23 elections.
Morocco’s youth between hope and resignation
On September 23, Moroccans will elect a new parliament. Despite a growing economy, many young people feel left behind. While some are prepared to fight for political change, others see emigration as their only option.

Young people represent a limited part of the electoral corps: 15% of those registered are between 25 and 34 years old, and 4% between 18 and 24 years old. A distribution that partly reflects the demographic structure of the country.
