Carter Center, Preliminary Statement on Tunisia’s 2022 Parliamentary Elections, Dec. 19, 2022; accessed 1 January 2023

“The September 2022 amendments of the electoral law established a new electoral system for electing the parliament, with 161 single candidate electoral districts, 151 in-country and 10 abroad. If no candidate achieves over 50 percent in the first round, the race is decided in a second round between the top two vote-getters two weeks after the announcement of final results.”

Tunisian President Kais Saied has made changes to electoral system on 15 September 2022: TRS system has replaced the existing List PR system. The number of deputied have also been reduced to 161 (with 10 elected from overseas).
