Candidates facing administrative hurdles
The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) has announced specific measures for the receipt of applications in areas affected by insecurity, but some citizens still face difficulties. In Port-au-Prince III and other communes, the lack of registration centers prevents some potential candidates from registering as voters before submitting their applications.

A potential candidate for deputy in Petite-Rivière de l'Artibonite has stated that he cannot run because he is not yet registered on the electoral lists. "I have my documents, but my party told me I cannot be registered as a candidate since I am not yet a voter," he explains.
Kerry Jean Baptiste of Marchand-Dessalines believes it is impossible to organize elections by excluding certain areas. He calls on the state to intervene to restore the necessary conditions for the functioning of institutions and facilitate access to electoral services.
Several political parties criticize the government led by Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, arguing that it is not taking sufficient measures to allow elections across the entire territory. They emphasize that insecurity and difficulties in accessing communes complicate the organization of the vote.
Unanswered Questions
It is still unknown whether departmental electoral offices (BED) can accept incomplete candidatures due to the unavailability of registration centers in certain areas. The CEP must clarify this situation before the deadline for submitting applications, which is December 13, 2026.
