PETION-VILLE, Haiti.— The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) began, on Thursday, a series of discussions dedicated to the electoral process, in a national context marked by strong expectations for a return to constitutional order. The inaugural session brought together several civil society organizations, invited to learn about the main innovations introduced and to debate the issues related to the upcoming deadlines.
According to information released by the electoral institution, the meeting opened with a detailed presentation of the new features integrated into the ongoing process. Discussions focused notably on the electoral decree currently in force, the adjustments made to the electoral calendar, as well as the progress of logistical and administrative preparations already underway.
CEP officials presented an overview of activities carried out to date, including organizational provisions and technical mechanisms put in place to oversee the election. The stated objective is to ensure a better understanding of electoral procedures and to reassure stakeholders about the transparency of the process.
Through this initiative, the CEP intends to mobilize and raise awareness among all national stakeholders. The institution relies on dialogue and consultation to foster active and inclusive participation in the upcoming elections. By involving civil society in preliminary discussions, it seeks to strengthen trust, an essential condition for the credibility of the ballot.
These discussions are expected to continue with other political parties this Saturday, pending meetings with the women's sector and people with disabilities, with a view to consolidating a participatory framework around the electoral process.
