Early parliamentary elections will be held in Morocco on 25 November 2011,^[1] postponed from 7 October 2011. They will be held following a referendum on constitutional reforms on 1 July 2011; the elections were not due to be held until September 2012.^[2] After negotiations between the interior ministry, which oversees elections, and some 20 political parties, the government proposed that parliamentary elections should take place on 11 November, with the possibility of shifting it due to its proximity to the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha.^[3] In the end, the date chosen was 25 November 2011.

The electoral campaign will run from 12 to 24 November. ^[4]
