Tunisia Electoral Authority Reforms

A presidential decree has been issued to amend the law concerning the Independent Higher Authority for Elections in Tunisia. The decree modifies provisions of Law No. 23 of 2012 in order to redefine the composition of the council and the mechanisms for selecting its members. It stipulates that the council comprises nine independent and neutral members, chosen through a careful balance among election management experts, judges, engineers, and representatives from relevant authorities. The head of the authority is appointed by the President of the Republic. The members' terms are set at six years, non-renewable, with a partial renewal mechanism every two years for one-third of the members to ensure continuity. The amendments also eliminated certain old phrases and confirmed that the current members will continue to perform their duties until the new council is formed. The aim of this decree is to strengthen the role of the President of the Republic and to develop the mechanisms for selecting members to ensure the independence and transparency of the authority in managing elections.
