الملخص

Elections represent one of the most critical mechanisms relied upon by ruling elites to institutionalize democratic thought within their political systems. They serve as the primary gateway for institutional building and the fundamental mechanism that allows citizens to express their will by selecting their representatives in the state's political institutions. This dynamic was witnessed in Algeria on July 2, 2026, through the legislative elections held under stable social and political conditions. Hundreds of candidates competed within both partisan and independent lists, presenting their platforms and orientations to secure a seat within the legislative body. Accordingly, this research paper attempts to examine the Algerian legislative elections of July 2, 2026, the circumstances surrounding their organization, the resulting outcomes, and their impact on the institutional framework of the Algerian political system.
