Event Summary

Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) on July 27, 2026, scheduled the first presidential and legislative elections in a decade for December 13, with a runoff on February 21, 2027, and final results on March 7. The vote is contingent on improved security and funding, as widespread gang violence led by the Haitian conflict alliance continues to cast doubt on the process. Haiti has not held elections since 2016; its last president, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated in 2021. The CEP has begun voter registration and approved over 300 political parties. The United States has designated Haitian conflict as a terrorist organization.
