The Carter Center in Tunisia

The Carter Center established a field office in Tunis in July 2011 to observe the first democratic elections following the Arab Spring, monitor the constitution-drafting process and the establishment of the electoral framework, and promote the inclusion of international standards for elections, democracy, and human rights in the new constitution. In 2014 it observed the legislative and presidential elections, providing Tunisian authorities, electoral
stakeholders, and international actors with recommendations to improve election administration and the legal framework.

Since then the Center has continued to support progress in Tunisia’s legislative framework by monitoring the work of the parliament and publishing public statements with recommendations on key legislative issues. Currently, the Carter Center has deployed an international observation mission to observe the 2019 presidential and parliamentary
elections.
