Moroccan parliamentary election, 2007

Parliamentary elections were held in Morocco on 7 September 2007, the second of King Mohammed VI's reign. Voter turnout was estimated to be 37%, the lowest in Moroccan political history.There were 33 different parties and 13 independent candidates competing for 325 assembly seats. An amount of $61 million was allocated by the Moroccan government to organize the 2007 elections. The number of constituencies was increased from 91 to 95 before this election. Although Interior minister Chakib Benmoussa claimed the changes were made "in accordance with objectivity and transparency", there have been accusations of gerrymandering in order to prevent the Islamist Justice and Development Party winning.
