What you need to know:
According to a poll by the Sigma polling institute, around 90 per cent of voters aged between 18 and 25 voted for political newcomer Mr Saied, massively shunning his rival, business tycoon Nabil Karoui.
Under Tunisian law, the results can be appealed within two weeks before the new president is sworn in at the end of the month.
Tunisia's second free presidential election since the Arab Spring in 2011 followed President Beji Caid Essebsi's death in July.
