Article 57 (external link at Constitution of Tunisia) clearly talks about a presidential election being obligatory within 45-60 days. It also forbids the acting President from dissolving the lower house of parliament ( Chamber of Deputies). It would be difficult to hold a general election, i.e. for members of the lower house of parliament, without dissolving it first AFAIK. Maybe due to further action from the streets, there will be pressure to drop the present constitution and have a general election along with the presidential election. However, for the moment, that would crystalballing it seems to me.
So we probably need some renaming/moving/splitting. Or else keep a single page until things become clearer. But at least until we have some sources, we have no evidence that a general election will be held in 2011 - in possible violation of the Constitution. Boud ( talk) 21:42, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
I came to this page without much background in Tunisian politics, and frankly I found it incomprehensible. You do not have a simple, clear narrative of what happened. For example, you start talking about the Troika without any explanation of what that is. Who is, or was, Mohamed Brahmi? When was Marzouki elected? (Suddenly you call him the incumbent president-- how did that happen?) What is the point of the second paragraph under Background? And the fourth paragraph... I have no idea when it is taking place. Some of the verb tenses seem to be wrong, which adds to the confusion. Pdronsard ( talk) 02:40, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Tunisia currently uses top-two runoff to elect its president. In so far as an unorganized opposition can hardly win in a top-two runoff election, is there any discussion in Tunisia to change its voting system? Top-two runoff works only when there are only two frontrunners. Otherwise, top-two runoff can lead to erratic results.

It should be merged with following article, as it covers same elections

Tunisian general election, 2011 →
Next Tunisian general election – or any more appropriate name. There won't be any general election in 2011 so this title is inaccurate and misleading. —

How about including this ballot paper in the article?

"27 candidates were allowed to run, out of the 70 who applied". It would be informative if someone knowledgeable could expand on this. Allowed to run by who? On what grounds where some not allowed? What are the appropriate laws or conventions in this regard? 213.120.234.130 ( talk) 22:20, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
