Morocco considers early elections

2011-08-15

Some 20 Moroccan political parties on Sunday (August 14th) agreed "in principle" to hold early parliamentary elections this fall, Al Jazeera reported. "The (interior) ministry has proposed to political parties that November 11th be the tentative date for early parliamentary polls," government spokesman Khalid Naciri was quoted as saying. "Now the parties and the ministry will need to agree on the election system that needs to be adopted, the election laws and whether we should have separate national lists for (electing) women and young people," he added.
