Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council Delays Presidential and Legislative Vote
Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council announced an indefinite postponement of the presidential and legislative elections originally set for December 13, with a new timetable to be released later.
The Provisional Electoral Council issued a statement saying the campaign period for Haiti's upcoming presidential and legislative elections has been pushed back without specifying a new date. The council pledged to publish an updated electoral schedule as soon as possible. Haiti has not conducted national elections since 2016, and the presidency has remained vacant since the 2021 assassination of its former leader.
Why it matters
The delay extends Haiti's years-long democratic vacuum, affecting governance and stability.
