Ahead of this, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, 78, has announced his intent to run for a second presidential term.
Tebboune is expected to be challenged by opposition leaders although they are considered fragmented and weak.
The president has secured the support of main political parties and civil society organisations but what are citizens saying about his first term?
Young people in Algeria express divided opinions about his record.
"The last five years have brought nothing. Since 2019, we haven't achieved anything concrete. After our victory in the African Cup, everything stagnated. In short, the last five years have brought nothing, we have seen nothing," Abdenour Benkherouf, a hairdresser said.
Another student, Wafa Khouni told AFP, "He has achieved a lot in the last five years. I will be voting for the first time this year and my vote will be for Abdelmadjid Tebboune. I wish him every success."
