Algeria’s highly anticipated presidential election campaign has officially concluded, leading into a three-day period of electoral silence ahead of the September 7 vote.
During this time, all political activities by candidates and their supporters are prohibited, allowing voters to reflect on their choices without external influence.
The campaign, which started on August 15, has been commended for its organization and security. The Independent National Election Authority (ANIE) ensured that the campaign adhered to strict standards, promoting transparency and fairness for all participants.
As per Algeria’s electoral law, the period of electoral silence began at midnight on Tuesday, September 3. This phase ensures that no further influence is exerted on voters, banning campaign activities and prohibiting the media from publishing opinion polls or voter intentions during the final 72 hours before the vote, with a five-day restriction for the Algerian diaspora abroad.
