Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council Reviews Two Years of Work, Eyes Next Steps
The CEP reports progress toward general elections while flagging remaining security and logistical hurdles, according to Le National.
Two years after its installation, Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) is continuing preparations for the country's next general elections, Le National reported. The institution said it has made progress across several fronts — including revisions to the legal framework, voter registration, candidate registration and consultations with political actors — while acknowledging that several steps remain, notably on security and logistics.
According to the report, the CEP was installed on October 18, 2024, following the swearing-in of seven of its members, and was completed on December 13 of that year with the entry into office of two councilwomen representing the women's and human rights sectors.
On the institutional level, the council's board of directors, formed in October 2024, was renewed in December 2025 and again on September 24, 2026. It is currently led by Peterson Pierre-Louis, president of the CEP, the outlet said.
The article, written by Modeline Youte, frames the review as a two-year assessment of the body's actions as it works to assemble the conditions necessary to hold the upcoming votes. Le National noted that outstanding challenges in security and logistics remain central to whether elections can proceed.
