Legislative Framework for Municipal Elections Completed
On September 30, 2026, President Kais Saïed issued Decree No. 4, which defines the regulatory framework for municipal councils in Tunisia. It covers their composition, responsibilities, and their contribution to development and economic and social integration in accordance with government policies. The decree also includes provisions related to the creation of municipal regions and the delimitation of their boundaries. This decree is an important step towards completing the legislative framework for municipal elections, as it will come into effect after the announcement of the results of the first elections of municipal councils organized in accordance with it. It is noted that a municipal council is only established after the issuance of a decree by the President of the Republic calling on voters, and that the Independent Higher Authority for Elections is ready to organize elections at all legislative, administrative, and logistical levels, while the provisions of Decree No. 9 of 2023 regarding the dissolution of municipal councils remain in force.
