Tunisia's moderate Islamist party, Ennahda, is claiming victory in Sunday's elections, the first free poll of the Arab Spring.
Official results are expected on Tuesday, but provisional results suggest that Ennahda will win most votes while falling short of a majority.
International observers praised the conduct of the vote as free and fair.
Its main rival, the secular centre-left PDP party, has admitted defeat.
However, unlike its eastern neighbour Libya, Tunisia's transition from authoritarian rule has been largely peaceful.
Former President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali was overthrown nine months ago after mass demonstrations - he had been in power for 23 years.
La commission électorale indépendante annonce les résultats définitifs du scrutin historique de dimanche en Tunisie, qui devraient confirmer une large victoire d'Ennahda, le grand parti islamiste qui revendique un score de 40%.
