CEP Opens Candidate Registration for December 13 Elections

Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council opened registration for presidential and legislative candidates, presenting its online registration platform to representatives of the 228 approved political parties and platforms at a Kinam Hotel session in Port-au-Prince. The window runs through October 2, 2026, ahead of an October 5–December 12 campaign period and the December 13 first-round vote — Haiti's first national election in a decade, contingent on the CEP's stated need for an 'acceptable security environment.'
