Morocco’s High Authority for Audiovisual Communication (HACA) has made an Amazigh-language version of its 2026 election pluralism decision available, marking a concrete step toward multilingual access to public information ahead of the legislative vote scheduled for September 23, 2026.
The regulator’s decision, adopted by the Higher Council for Audiovisual Communication on June 16, sets the rules for political pluralism in radio and television during a 39-day election period running from August 15 to September 22, 2026. According to HACA’s official French and Arabic summaries, the framework covers party and candidate access to audiovisual media, broadcaster neutrality, disinformation risks, and AI-generated or manipulated election content.
A report published July 27 by Le Monde Amazigh said the authority prepared an Amazigh version of the decision for the first time alongside the Arabic text. That does not change the substance of the rules, but it does matter symbolically and practically: a regulation tied to electoral information is more accessible when citizens can consult it in Tamazight as well as Arabic.
The move will likely be watched as a test of whether constitutional recognition of Amazigh continues to translate into routine institutional practice. The next question for observers is whether the same multilingual approach will carry through the campaign itself, especially in public guidance and election-period media coverage.
