The turnout was far lower than the 45 percent turnout of the 2019 parliamentary elections and less than half of the turnout in the 2014 elections.
The reported question on the ballot was: "Do you support the new draft constitution for the Republic of Tunisia?" The referendum was boycotted by many of Tunisia's largest political parties.
The draft constitution turns Tunisia's semi-presidential system into a presidential system, giving the president sweeping powers while largely limiting the role of the parliament.
An exit poll by Sigma Conseil said that 92.3 percent of those who voted in the referendum supported the new constitution, which, with no minimum participation rate requirement, is now set to become law. (ILKHA)
