ANNOUNCEMENT

VOTE BY PROXY

 

Ahead of the parliamentary elections, due to take place in Morocco on 25 November 2011, the Embassy wishes to advise that Moroccan citizens registered at the general electoral lists, and living abroad, can henceforth vote by proxy.

To streamline the practice of such a constitutional right, the Embassy places at your disposal a sample of "power of attorney" designed to enable you to authorize whomever you wish to cast a vote on your behalf.

The "power of attorney" can be authenticated either at the consular services at the Embassy or at the "roving consular services" while they are present in Sydney and Melbourne to establish IDs.

Once the " power of attorney" authenticated, the citizen is kindly requested to forward it to the person they authorize by express post before the Vote Day.

N.B: Given the fact that many citizens' email addresses are not available to this Embassy, those who take cognizance of the present announcement are kindly requested to spread the news.
