Coverage has been extensive, highlighting the start of voting for Algerians living abroad and the broader electoral landscape.
Several international news outlets have prominently featured headlines such as “Voting Begins for Algerian Community Abroad” to mark the start of the voting period. For instance, the Egyptian news website Al-Youm Al-Sabee has provided detailed coverage of the 2024 presidential election, including articles on how the Algerian community in Egypt is casting their votes and the electoral silence period that began at midnight. The site also noted the high turnout at polling stations, particularly among Algerian students studying overseas.
Media outlets like Al-Hurra channel and Russia Today-RT have reported on the opening of polling stations abroad and the beginning of electoral silence in Algeria. Al-Hurra highlighted the voter turnout and operational details of the voting centers, while Russia Today-RT noted the absence of violations during the campaign. The Lebanese channel Annahar and Al-Mayadeen channel have also covered the election, with Annahar focusing on the logistical aspects of voting at Algerian diplomatic missions and Al-Mayadeen emphasizing the significance of the election.
