(courtesy of IFES election guide)

 The monarchy is hereditary.

The legislative branch of Morocco underwent a significant transformation from a unicameral to a bicameral institution in 1996.

The two legislative units are the House of Representatives (Majlis al-Nawab) and the House of Counselors (Majlis al-Mustasharin). The 270 members of the latter chamber are indirectly elected by members of electoral colleges for nine-year terms.

The House of Representatives is composed of 325 members who are popularly elected for five-year terms.
