The Algerian government has introduced a digital platform aimed at regulating the relationship between the administration and political parties. This move is part of efforts to digitize the monitoring of political parties' activities and files. The platform, which was established by an executive decree, provides a centralized framework for managing various procedures and documents related to the organizational life of political parties.
The decree, published in the 69th issue of the Official Gazette, outlines the modalities for using the digital platform dedicated to monitoring political parties. It applies to the provisions of Article 15 of Organic Law No. 26-08 dated April 23, 2026, relating to political parties. The platform allows for the deposit and reception of files, documents, information, and declarations, particularly those related to the establishment of parties, permits for holding constituent conferences, and accreditation requests.
The platform enables the authorities to monitor different procedures related to the establishment and accreditation of parties, examination of their organizational situations, and verification of their conformity with the legislation in force. It also allows for the notification of decisions related to granting or refusing accreditation, changes to a party's situation, and decisions related to the suspension of activities and closure of premises.
Each accredited political party is required to create an official account on the digital platform by providing the details of its responsible person or authorized representative. These details include the national identification number, date and place of birth, parental information, residence address, profession, and contact information. The competent services of the Ministry of the Interior will activate the official account after completing the required data.
The decree sets out a number of obligations that parties must respect when using the platform, including continuous monitoring of the official account, not using it except through the responsible person or authorized representative, and respecting the conditions of use and not misusing the platform. Parties are also required to maintain the confidentiality of data and not publish it, except in cases permitted by law.
The digital platform is part of a broader effort to regulate the relationship between the administration and political parties. It aims to provide a transparent and accountable framework for managing the activities and files of political parties. The platform will also enable the authorities to monitor the activities of parties and ensure their compliance with the legislation in force.
The introduction of the digital platform is expected to improve the management of political parties' activities and files, reducing bureaucracy and increasing transparency. It will also enable the authorities to have better oversight of the activities of political parties and ensure their accountability. The platform is a significant step towards digitizing the relationship between the administration and political parties in Algeria.
