The Electoral System and the Revolution: The Tunisian Way
Gobe, Éric
The Electoral System and the Revolution: The Tunisian Way - 2016.
77
The determination of the actors of the Tunisian “revolution” to find the best possible match between the “revolutionary people” and the “voting people” has led them to choose a proportional voting system with highest remainders and without electoral threshold to elect the national constituent Assembly. In practice, by preventing the islamist party Ennahdha from winning the majority of seats in the Assembly, this choice has been seen as a balancing factor between the different political forces, and this has led the members of Parliament to renew the same ballot system for the October 2014 general election.
