The government projects to generalize the ID card before the upcoming elections, said interior minister, Ahmed El Midaoui.

Answering a question at the chamber of advisors (upper chamber of parliament), the minister said he asked the competent bodies to prepare a special budget to generalize the ID card. Security agents will be touring traditional markets, villages and some remote cities to issue Ids to nationals.
