A national committee overseeing a petition to abolish daylight saving time in Morocco and revert to standard time has announced it failed to gather the minimum required signatures. As of today, only 2,107 valid signatures have been collected. The petition aimed to end the practice of observing Greenwich Mean Time plus one hour. Organizers are continuing to verify submitted lists from across the country, but the initiative appears unlikely to succeed based on current numbers. The required threshold for the petition’s success was not specified in the report. This outcome suggests limited public support for abandoning daylight saving time in Morocco. The petition was hosted on Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
