Parliament Continues to Consider Legislative Initiative on Electoral Register and Referendum
The Internal Rules, Electoral Laws, Parliamentary Laws, and Electoral Procedure Committee in Tunisia continues to discuss a comprehensive draft law aimed at unifying and regulating the electoral system through the inclusion of procedures related to candidacy, elections, and referendums. The discussions addressed financial guarantees for candidacy intended to enhance the seriousness of nominations and reduce symbolic candidacies, alongside eligibility criteria regarding educational level for candidates to improve the quality of parliamentary work. There was also debate about how compatible this is with the principle of freedom to run. Additionally, mechanisms for selecting members of regional councils were discussed, with a call to adopt elections rather than lotteries to promote efficiency. Files related to the judiciary's role in monitoring campaign funding and electoral disputes were also on the agenda. The work on developing legal texts to strengthen transparency and build trust in electoral institutions continues.
