Algiers, Algeria | September 4th, 2024 — The electoral campaign for Algeria’s highly anticipated presidential election, scheduled for September 7, has officially concluded, paving the way for a three-day period of electoral silence. During this time, candidates and their supporters are prohibited from engaging in any form of political activity, marking a crucial phase in the democratic process where the electorate is given time to reflect on their choices without further influence.

The campaign, which commenced on August 15, unfolded under conditions that have been widely praised for their organization and security. The Independent National Election Authority (ANIE) played a pivotal role, ensuring that the campaign adhered to strict logistical standards, fostering a transparent and secure environment for all participants.

As stipulated by Algeria’s electoral law, the period of electoral silence commences precisely at midnight on Tuesday, September 3. This phase is designed to prevent any last-minute influence on voters, ensuring that all campaign activities are halted, and media outlets are barred from publishing or broadcasting any new opinion polls or voter intentions within the final 72 hours before the vote, and for five days for the Algerian diaspora abroad.
