Voting under way in Algeria's presidential election
Briefly

The outcome of the election seems predetermined; political commentator Mohamed Hennad described it as a 'farce,' highlighting the restrictive conditions that limit genuine political engagement.
Tebboune’s main challenge remains to boost voter turnout, which was a mere 40 percent in his 2019 win, and even lower at 30 percent during the 2021 elections.
More than 800,000 Algerians residing abroad began voting earlier, reflecting notable participation outside the country amid widespread domestic disinterest in the elections.
The election campaign lacks enthusiasm, as rallies struggle to attract crowds, a situation exacerbated by summer heat and disillusionment with the political process.
