"Employees need internet access and adequate equipment to facilitate the process," he said. "Registration is essential for organizing elections."
Vertilaire questioned the electoral institution's ability to have a sufficiently complete list before the upcoming elections scheduled for December 13, noting that several million voters must be registered. He also highlighted the challenges related to population displacement due to insecurity.
"Can we hold credible elections if we cannot register three million voters? Elections must be honest, credible, and democratic," he added.
Facing technical and security constraints, Vertilaire calls for extending the registration period and encourages eligible citizens to register. However, he noted that Patriots will not present any candidates in the upcoming elections.
