# ISIE records 94.6 percent yes for Saied’s constitution on 30.5 percent turnout Date: 2022 ## The fact On 26 July 2022 ISIE announced preliminary results of the 25 July constitutional referendum: 2,607,884 yes (94.6 percent) and turnout of 2,830,094 of 9,278,541 registered (30.5 percent). Decision 2022-22 of 16 August 2022 proclaimed those figures final. No minimum turnout was required. This page does not invent a unique boycott integer. ## Context He drafted and campaigned for the text. Opposition groups boycotted. ISIE tabulated. The new constitution concentrates executive and judicial power in the presidency. 25 July 2022 poll; 26 July preliminary; 16 August Decision 2022-22. Stored as one 26 July 2022 Fact. Keep ISIE records 94.6 percent yes for Saied’s constitution on 30.5 percent turnout on 2022-07-26 separate from neighbouring 25 July, referendum, and 2024-return instruments. The president of Tunisia is head of state. He can invoke Article 80, sack a prime minister, and accept an ISIE return. He does not write an ISIE decision as if he were the commission, and he does not invent a unique arrest integer here. ## Evidence and sources Instance supérieure indépendante pour les élections carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is electoral integrity: a completed hyper-presidential constitution certified on 30.5 percent turnout. ## What is established and what is not Established: ISIE recorded 94.6 percent yes and 30.5 percent turnout. Decision 2022-22 proclaimed the result final. Not established: A unique fraud integer, or that 94.6 percent is an ODIHR competitive finding. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. ISIE tabulated. Sharing tabulation is not a reason to drop the referendum.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies ISIE records 94.6 percent yes for Saied’s constitution on 30.5 percent turnout, not a later speech about ISIE records 94.6 percent yes for Saied’s constitution on 30.5 percent turnout. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. ISIE records 94.6 percent yes for Saied’s constitution on 30.5 percent turnout on 2022-07-26 is not a licence to treat every later Instance supérieure indépendante pour les élections communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average ISIE records 94.6 percent yes for Saied’s constitution on 30.5 percent turnout into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He drafted the text and accepted the certification. ISIE tabulated. Sharing tabulation is not a reason to drop the referendum. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Kais Saied: https://factrail.ai/people/kais-saied ## Drivers - Saied 2021 power concentration: https://factrail.ai/drivers/saied-2021-power-concentration - Electoral Integrity and Competitiveness: https://factrail.ai/drivers/electoral-integrity-and-competitiveness ## Sources - https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/tunisian-electoral-commission-says-yes-won-constitutional-referendum-2022-07-26/ - https://legislation-securite.tn/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2023/11/Decision-de-lInstance-Superieure-Independante-pour-les-elections-n%C2%B0-2022-22-du-16-aout-2022.pdf ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/tn-saied-constitution-2022
