Tunis/Tunisia — President of the Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE), Farouk Bouasker said that until 10:00 pm after the closing of polling stations, 2 million 458 thousand 985 voters voted during the referendum held on Monday on the draft of the new Tunisian Constitution, i. e. a turnout of 27.54% of all voters registered in the electoral register (8,929,665 people).
