Haiti prepares for December elections amid security and registration challenges

Haiti elections OAS gang violence voter registration Japan grant

Haiti is preparing for its first general elections in over a decade, with the first round of presidential and legislative voting, alongside a constitutional referendum, scheduled for December 13. The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) has approved 105 political entities, including 88 parties and 17 coalitions, to participate in the process.

Organization of American States (OAS) Secretary General Albert Ramdin has urged the international community to accelerate security and electoral preparations. He emphasized that the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force requires additional personnel, equipment, and funding to secure critical infrastructure, such as the main international airport and seaport, and to reduce gang control, which currently affects an estimated 70% of Port-au-Prince.

To support the electoral process, the OAS and the government of Japan have signed an agreement for a $3 million grant. This funding will assist in updating voter lists and procuring 350,000 blank identification cards, which is critical as gang violence has displaced approximately 1.5 million people, many of whom lost their identification documents. Opposition leaders have warned that without significant security improvements and the unblocking of national highways, armed gangs could undermine the credibility of the election results.
