RABAT, March 6 (Xinhua) -- The Moroccan government has set Sept. 23 as the date for the country's next election for the 395-seat House of Representatives, the lower house of parliament.
The cabinet approved the draft decree setting the date of the elections, government spokesperson Mustapha Baitas told the press following a cabinet meeting on Thursday.
The draft decree also set the deadlines for submitting candidacies through the dedicated electronic platform, and the electoral campaign period, Batias added.
