Local elections were held in Tunisia on 6 May 2018 under the supervision of the Independent High Authority for Elections.[1] These were Tunisia's first free and democratic local elections following the Tunisian Revolution and saw unaffiliated independent lists win the most votes but on a very low turnout especially in terms of youth turnout which was down sharply.[2]
