CEP Seeks Broad Stakeholder Input on Revised Electoral Calendar

Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) is seeking to involve as many stakeholders as possible in modifying the country's electoral calendar, according to Le Nouvelliste. The report indicates uncertainty over when elections will take place, noting that no one is currently able to say when the vote will be held. While the CEP has not yet officially announced an inability to hold the elections on December 13 as previously planned, it has begun discussions with key actors on new dates for the electoral calendar. According to the outlet, this time the council wants to involve the largest possible number of stakeholders in drawing up the calendar. Le Nouvelliste cited a meeting on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, between the CEP and the Prime Minister as part of these consultations. The report frames the situation as a return to square one for the electoral process. Full details of the discussions were not disclosed in the available portion of the article. The developments come amid broader debates referenced by the outlet over the electoral decree and the participation of women in the political and electoral process.
