CEP opens voter registration center at SONAPI to serve Cité-Soleil

The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) opened a registration and voting center (CIV) at the National Industrial Parks Company (SONAPI) on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, according to Le Nouvelliste. The center is equipped with three registration posts. According to the outlet, the facility is intended to ease access to the voter registration process for residents of the Cité-Soleil commune and surrounding areas. During the opening ceremony, CEP president Jacques Desrosiers reaffirmed the institution's aim to bring electoral services closer to citizens, particularly in areas where access constraints can hinder the exercise of civic rights, Le Nouvelliste reported. The move is part of broader electoral preparations. Le Nouvelliste noted in related coverage that the CEP has extended the candidate registration period and modified the electoral calendar while maintaining December 13 for the first round of elections. The outlet also reported that the OCID has opened its doors to political parties ahead of the upcoming elections. No further details on additional planned centers or projected registration figures were provided in the report.
