Tunisians have until August 14th to register to vote for the Constituent Assembly elections. The body chosen in October will be responsible for drafting the country's new democratic constitution.
According to ISIE, only 350,000 Tunisians were registered for the poll as of July 20th, compared with nearly 8 million eligible voters. Anyone over the age of 18 can participate in the upcoming election.
The reason for the low participation, according to ISIE Secretary-General Boubaker Ben Thabeut, is the absence of a sense of responsibility that is vital to the democratic process.
But the registration drive has not been without problems. Several potential seem to encounter problems when trying to register.
