ELECTION SNAPSHOT TUNISIA:
2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

On October 6, 2024, Tunisia will hold the nation's first presidential elections since adopting a new constitution in 2022. Three candidates are on the ballot, and the winning candidate will be elected to a five-year term. Tunisians abroad will vote Oct. 4-6. 

Ahead of this important electoral process, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems provides Frequently Asked Questions on Elections in Tunisia: 2024 Presidential Elections.

IFES FAQs
1. How is the president elected?

The president is elected for a five-year term by universal, direct, free, and secret suffrage. In the event that no candidate obtains an absolute majority of votes during the October 6 election, a second round will be held between the two candidates with the highest number of votes. The second election, if needed, will take place within two weeks of the announcement of the final results of the first round.

2. How will voters with disabilities vote?

The Electoral Law enshrines the principles of personal and secret voting for all voters, including those with disabilities. To this end, the law requires polling stations to be accessible to voters with disabilities. The High Independent Authority for Elections (ISIE) can adopt specific measures for the benefit of voters with disabilities, including those who are blind or have low vision and those with physical disabilities. On Election Day, these two categories of voters have the right to assistance from a voter of their choice if the following requirements are met:

  • The voter must present a disability card.
  • The assistant must be an eligible voter.
  • The assistant must be either the spouse or a relative of the voter with a disability. In addition to a national identity card, the assistant must present an official document proving the relationship to the voter. In the absence of such an assistant from his or her family, a voter with a disability may ask the president of the polling station to instruct a voter present at the station to provide assistance.
  • The same assistant may not accompany more than one voter with a disability.
