  • TUNISIA Date of Elections: 4 November 1979 Purpose Of
    TUNISIA Date of Elections: 4 November 1979 Purpose of Elections Elections were held for all the members of Parliament on the normal expiry of their term of office. Characteristics of Parliament The unicameral Parliament of Tunisia, the National Assembly, is composed of 121 members elected for 5 years. Electoral System All citizens aged 20 years or more who have held Tunisian nationality for at least five years and who are in full possession of their civil and political rights are entitled to vote. Disqualified are persons convicted of crime; those convicted of offences which entail either an unsuspended sentence of imprisonment in excess of three months or a suspended sentence of imprisonment in excess of six months; those under guardianship; undis­ charged bankrupts; the insane; and members of the armed forces and National Guard. The electoral registers are permanent. They are revised at the commune and sector level on January 1. Citizens living abroad may also be registered. All disputes concerning the lists are resolved by a revision committee. Voting is not compulsory. Candidates to Parliament must be qualified electors who are at least 28 years of age and born of a Tunisian father. Governors, magistrates, certain local public officials and members of the police force cannot be elected. The exercise of public functions which are non-elective and remunerated out of funds from the State, public establishments or public collectivities are generally incompatible with the office of Deputy; this is also true for the office of president or director of a national enterprise and public establishment, as well as director or administrator of certain public enterprises.
