Ennahada, the most prominent Islamist party, condemned the violence but did not criticize the protests.
Amid such tumult, public opinion across Tunisia has been frank and diverse.
Balti, one of Tunisia's most popular rappers and a supporter of the Tunisian revolution, told CNN he doesn't plan to vote.
"I don't trust any of these political parties," he said. "Especially the parties that are using religion to get through to the hearts and minds of the people."
In contrast, his sound engineer plans to vote for Ennahada, strongly supported in provincial cities and among the working classes.
"We are a Muslim country. Our language is Arabic. And Ennahada is close to Islam," said M.D.M.C. "I want religion to play a bigger role in Tunisian society."
