DISTRIBUTION IN GRESSIER The February 23-24 reporting window produced no new CPT decrees, press conferences, or authoritative communiques related to post-February 21 National Pact follow-on activity. The CEP electoral calendar remains unchanged with no postponement or new compliance deadlines announced. While the absence of governance action during a 24-hour cycle is not itself a significant indicator, the sustained silence on National Pact implementation represents an emerging gap between the political momentum of the February 21 signing and any observable institutional follow-through. The ONI launched a new distribution phase of the Carte d'Identification Nationale under its Kat Ou La operation, targeting Gressier residents beginning February 24, 2026. Distribution is conducted at the ONI office housed within the Leogane city hall, requiring presentation of a registration receipt and supporting identification documents. This operation represents a continuing effort to extend civil documentation coverage to peri-urban and rural populations that have historically been underserved by national ID infrastructure. The operational significance of the ONI distribution goes beyond administrative routine. National February 25, 2026 ID card coverage is a structural prerequisite for voter registration and electoral participation. Expansion of CIN distribution into areas such as Gressier -- which lies in the Ouest department but outside the Port-au-Prince urban core -- reflects an attempt to build the civil registry infrastructure that any credible electoral process will require. The timing relative to the CEP's electoral calendar warrants tracking to assess whether documentation expansion is keeping pace with voter registration timelines.
