Tunisia entered a period of electoral silence by midnight on Saturday, a day before the start of voting in the second presidential elections immediately after the revolution.
During this phase, which continues until the end of the voting process, all forms of electoral propaganda, whether for candidates or their supporters, are prohibited.
The Independent High Electoral Commission said that it has taken regulatory and supervisory measures to deal with any breach of the period of silence in connection with the presidential elections, especially in conjunction with the launch of propaganda campaigns for parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, Tunisians abroad are continuing their three-day voting process, with 10,000 people casting their ballots on the first day, out of an estimated 400,000 registered voters.
At the end of the first day of voting, the number of Tunisian voters abroad ranged from a minimum of 400 to a maximum of 3,000, in various centers around the world, said NEC President Nabil Bafoun.
