Campaigning has begun in Tunisia for the first elections since the revolution in January, which inspired the Arab Spring.
Eighty-one parties are vying for places on a national assembly that will draft a new constitution. Voting will take place on 23 October.
Almost 11,000 candidates are expected to contest 218 seats in the assembly.
President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was toppled in January after ruling for 23 years.
The BBC reports the election was originally set for July, but the election commission needed more time to prepare.
The European Union is sending 150 observers to Tunisia to oversee the process.
The revolt in Tunisia inspired similar uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen.
