Haiti has not held national elections since 2016 when Jovenel Moise was elected president. The CEP was reconstituted in September 2024 after years of non-functionality, and launched party capacity training on electoral legislation and political ethics in November 2025. Previous electoral processes in Haiti have been marked by fraud allegations, low turnout, and international observer concerns about credibility, creating skepticism about the viability of the August 2026 timeline even under optimal security conditions.
