The Government of Haiti and the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) have formalized, this Friday, July 3, 2026, an agreement setting at 120 million US dollars the forecast budget for the next elections. This consensus, obtained after several working sessions between the Primature, CEP and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), aims to ensure the financing of the various electoral operations in a framework compatible with the financial capacity of the State.
According to the joint communiqué of the two institutions, this budget has been prepared taking into account the main challenges associated with the organization of the elections, including logistical needs, security constraints and the gradual reopening of certain areas of the country. The authorities specify that this envelope may be reassessed if the conditions for implementing the electoral process change.
Through this agreement, the Government reaffirms its commitment to mobilize the necessary resources, with the possible support of national and international partners, to ensure the holding of elections. For its part, the CEP renews its desire to organise a vote in accordance with the Constitution and the laws in force, with a focus on the transparency, fairness and credibility of the electoral process.
