Joint recommendations issued by Tunisian civil society for future elections (2019)
In January 2019, six Tunisian civil society organizations and partners of NDI collectively issued 22 recommendations for improving electoral processes. The group, which includes the Chahed Observatory, IWatch, Mourakiboun, the Ofiya Coalition, the Tunisian Mediterranean Center (TU-MED) and Youth Without Borders (French acronym JSF), collaborated in analyzing their findings from past election observation efforts. Focusing on immediate steps to enhance the 2019 electoral process, taken together the recommendations address several themes: improving election administration; strengthening monitoring and enforcement; deterring malfeasance; increasing transparency; ensuring fair competition; and, promoting citizen participation.
