The vice-president of Tunisia's Ennahda Movement on Sunday said some violations were committed during the country's parliamentary elections earlier in the day.
He added, however, that these violations could not affect the final results of the elections.
"The electoral process is acceptable despite some violations that were committed during the day," Abdel-Hamid Jelassi said during a conference at the premises of his movement in the Tunisian capital.
He said some people had tried to influence the choices of Tunisian voters, while others sought to pay voters to convince them to select specific candidates.
"We documented some of these violations and sent them to the election body," Jelassi said.
He said his movement made victory by contributing to Tunisia's success in holding the parliamentary elections, the first after the 2011 revolution.
The elections came to an end a short time ago, while election commission staffs started counting votes in all polling stations across the country.
The election commission said 59.99 percent of Tunisia's registered 5 million voters cast their votes in the elections that started at local time on Sunday.
