أعطاب الديمقراطية في الانتخابات المغربية : أي دور للاليات الانتخابية

Abstract EN

Democracy has been linked to the direct pqrticipation of citizens in managing their national and territorial affairs, through the electoral act, which is the appropriate means for entrusting and exercising power in democratic systems, and a mechanism for consolidating the values of this democracy within the political practice of transitional regimes.

Elections intersect with the democratic process when the necessary conditions are met, such as integrity, transparency, broadening the margin of freedom to participate, and the availability of appropriate electoral mechanisms and an environment that embraces the rules of the democratic game in general.

And if, according to Joseph Schumpeter, democracy is the ability to reach political decision-making through legitimate competitive scramble for the people's vote.

The electoral system, the electoral mechanisms accompanying it, the party system and the interactions that result from this trio are all entrances to reinforce this scramble and improve it if they are chosen and invested in the right and good way, and used in the appropriate place and time.

To what extent does the electoral system in force in Morocco contribute to raising the level of democracy? How do the electoral mechanisms chosen by the political parties affect the success of this electoral pattern, including the achievement of democratic transition?
