		</div><p>Tunisians are casting ballots in the North African country’s second democratic presidential election.</p>
<p>They are choosing among 26 candidates for a leader who can safeguard its young democracy and tackle unemployment, corruption and economic despair.</p>
<p>Sunday’s vote followed a noisy but brief campaign in which all contenders vowed to boost the flagging economy and protect the country from deadly attacks by Islamist extremists.</p>
<p>There is no clear favourite going into the first round.</p>
<p>The candidate who has led polls, media magnate Nabil Karoui, was jailed last month in a money-laundering probe that he claims aims to hurt his chances.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Youssef Chahed and moderate Islamist Abdelfattah Mourou were also getting attention.</p>
<p>The early election follows the death in office in July of Tunisia’s first democratically elected leader, Beji Caid Essebsi.</p>
