  1. The online registration of candidates for the presidency and legislative elections ends on November 15
  2. Le CEP prolonge l’inscription des candidats jusqu’au 14 octobre

Candidates and parties

The official roster of qualified candidates is still pending publication by the CEP. The fiches above are people who have registered online. Registration is not approval. This desk does not publish policy platforms that a candidate has not put in an approved report.

Online registration for presidential and legislative files was set to close at midnight on 15 November 2026. Deposit of the required documents was set to close on 30 November 2026. Both dates are from the CEP note of 10 November 2026.

CEP candidate portal

31 / 17 / 3Parties, groupings, and independent candidates that the CEP said had finished registering members and supporters by midnight on 8 November 2026. This is not a list of approved candidates.

Election results

Results will be grouped by office and by place when the CEP publishes them. Preliminary figures will stay labeled preliminary until the CEP certifies them. Disputed results will stay labeled disputed. None of those documents exist yet.

No preliminary or certified results

The CEP has not published preliminary or final results for the 2026–2027 presidential, legislative, or local elections. This desk does not chart votes, turnout, or polls unless the figure is an official result.

  • Preliminary means the CEP has published an early count that is still open to correction.
  • Certified means the CEP has published the final result.
  • Disputed means a competent authority says the result is contested. No result on this page is marked disputed, because none has been published.

Haiti and the diaspora

Haitian national elections are separate from elections held by other countries. A preparatory visit, a diplomatic meeting, or an election in the United States, Canada, France, or elsewhere is not a Haitian polling place. No country below is marked as open for Haitian voting.

National election

Haiti

Presidential and legislative elections are on the CEP calendar, with a first round presented for 18 July 2027. Local elections are presented with the second round on 4 October 2027. Voter registration drives and mobile teams have been announced. A full map of registration centers is not published here.

Pilot not open

United States

On 15 October 2026 the CEP described a delegation in the United States, including Florida, to prepare a diaspora-vote pilot. Polling places are not confirmed.

Not confirmed

Canada

No CEP note confirms Haitian polling places in Canada. A CEP counselor observed Quebec’s general election as an exchange program. That was a Canadian election, not a Haitian vote.

Not confirmed

France

No CEP note confirms Haitian polling places in France.

Different event

Dominican Republic

The CEP president attended an electoral-authorities meeting in Santo Domingo on 11–13 November 2026. That meeting was not a Haitian election.

Pilot not open

Brazil and Chile

A CEP delegation visited both countries from 18 August 2026 to explore a pilot. Voting was not declared open in either country.

Not listed

Elsewhere

The CEP has not published a list of additional countries where Haitians can vote in the 2026–2027 national elections. A public reading of article 390 of the 6 October 2026 decree says registered Haitians abroad may vote in the presidential election and a popular ratification, in communities the CEP identifies, with places and procedures set by an order of the Council of Ministers. Until that order names communities and places, voting abroad should be treated as not open.

Voter guide

Who organizes the election

The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) organizes the elections. Office: 72, rue Stephen Archer, Pétion-Ville. Phone +509 4420-6006 and +509 3163-9523. Email contact@cephaiti.ht. cephaiti.ht

The rules

The current framework cited by the CEP is the electoral decree of 6 October 2026, revising the decree of 2 June 2026 as amended on 2 July 2026. Eligibility, documents, and voting steps should be read from that decree and from CEP instructions, which can change. Decree text

Voter registration

The CEP has announced mobile registration in public places and said it intends to add mobile teams. A press report describes people still waiting for an identity card before they can register. That report is not a CEP rule. Identity-card report

Candidate registration

Candidates use the CEP portal. The 10 November 2026 note sets midnight on 15 November 2026 for online presidential and legislative registration, and 30 November 2026 for required documents. Candidate portal

How results will be labeled

Preliminary means an early CEP count. Certified means the final CEP result. Disputed means a competent authority says the result is contested. Charts stay empty until official figures exist.

Voting from abroad

Do not travel or plan on the assumption that a polling place is open. The CEP has described pilots and a legal opening that still needs an official list of communities, places, and procedures. None of that list is published on this page.
