Haiti: Over 628,000 Voters Registered Across 1,285 Voting Centers
The Provisional Electoral Council reports progress on registration and candidate lists as election preparations advance across all 10 departments.
More than 628,755 voters have been registered and 1,285 Registration and Voting Centers (CIV) are operational across Haiti's 10 departments, according to a note published Monday, September 21, 2026, by the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), as reported by Le Nouvelliste. The CEP said 30 accredited structures, including 18 political parties and 12 political groupings, have submitted their lists of the required 30,000 members. According to the same source, the electoral field includes seven presidential candidates, 162 candidates for the Senate and 419 for the Chamber of Deputies. The CEP also reported the training of 2,853 electoral registry agents, 4,643 security agents and more than 1,000 electoral commissioners and judges tasked with handling disputes. The figures signal advancing logistical preparations, though other Le Nouvelliste reporting has noted challenges elsewhere, including logistical and administrative obstacles slowing electoral preparation in the Nord-Ouest and exceptional security measures announced by the Kenscoff municipality. The CEP has not released a definitive electoral calendar in this note. Details beyond those in the published note could not be independently confirmed.
