Tunis | First in Line as the Constitutional Referendum Opened

On 25 July 2022, a polling station on Rue de Marseille in central Tunis opened for Tunisia's constitutional referendum. Reuters reported that Illyes Moujahed was first in line. Few voters were present at opening time, so this was not a story of mass congestion.

What distinguishes the record is not the length of the queue but the way the order for casting the first ballot met a major institutional change. Voting on a constitution that expanded presidential powers began quietly, with the first voter waiting for his turn.
