This year's uprising in Tunisia inspired revolts throughout North Africa and the Middle East, and now the world is watching just as closely as the liberated country holds its first elections and begins to rewrite its constitution.

On Sunday's Dateline, Amos Roberts follows the campaign from the frantic electioneering on the streets, with more than 11,000 candidates competing for seats, to the historic polling day itself.

And he examines the key campaign battleground over whether Tunisia should have religious or secular leadership.
