(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Tunisians are casting ballots¹ in the country's first presidential election since former leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was ousted² in 2011.

突尼斯人正在举行总统选举投票，这是前领导人扎因·阿比丁·本·阿里2011年被罢黜之后的首次选举。

Polls have closed on Sunday with no major incidents being reported.

"The majority of people do not feel reassured³ when they go out, because criminality has increased and there is some instability in the country. We need a President who knows these things and can solve them totally."

Interim⁴ president Moncef Marzouki and 87-year-old anti-Islamist leader Beji Essebsi are both claiming victory.

Preliminary results are going to be announced later on this week.

If none of the 25 candidates in the running gains an outright⁵ majority, there will be a runoff at the end of next month.

In Tunisia, while the main power resides with parliament, the presidency⁶ does hold some responsibilities for defense⁷ and foreign affairs.
