A female demonstrator shouts slogans as she raises a placard that reads in Arabic, ''absurd laws, theatrics elections,'' during a demonstration organized by the Tunisian Network for Rights and Freedoms in Tunis, Tunisia, on September 22, 2024, to protest the draft amendment to the electoral law. Demonstrators contest the legitimacy of the upcoming presidential elections, scheduled to take place on October 6. They also protest against what they describe as violations of rights and freedoms by the regime, as well as against the populism, economic, social, and freedom policies of the outgoing president, Kais Saied, and his authoritarian rule. With less than three weeks to the vote and during the electoral period of the presidential elections, some thirty MPs submit a draft amendment to the electoral law to the Bureau of the Assembly of People's Representatives (ARP), aiming to change a number of clauses in the aforementioned law, according to which presidential election candidates will only be able to submit their complaints against the Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE) to the Court of Appeal instead of the Administrative Court.
