Tunisians cast ballots on Sunday in a presidential election, with incumbent Kais Saied expected to secure another five years in office as his main critics are behind bars.

Three years after Saied staged a sweeping power grab, the election is seen as a closing chapter in Tunisia's experiment with democracy.

The ISIE electoral board said about 9.7 million people were expected to turn out. About 47 percent of them are aged between 36 and 60.
