Gazette: Decree No. 3 of 2026 amends Electoral Law
Today, a Presidential Decree No. 3 of 2026 was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Tunisia. It aims to amend certain provisions of the Basic Law No. 23 issued on December 20, 2012, related to the Independent Higher Authority for Elections. The decree modifies the composition of the Authority’s Council, which now consists of nine independent members with expertise and integrity, elected from among specialists in election management and organization, judges, engineers with relevant expertise, and a retired diplomat. The members serve a term of up to six years, non-renewable, with one-third being reappointed every two years through a draw. It also stipulates that the President of the Republic appoints the Chairperson of the Authority from among its members. Some articles of the previous law are repealed. This development follows a meeting of the Council of Ministers chaired by the President of the Republic. The decree aims to enhance the independence and effectiveness of the Election Authority.
