The DGI outlines the payment procedures for registration fees
The General Tax Directorate (DGI) announced on October 6, 2026, the implementation of new rules for the payment of registration fees for candidates in the upcoming elections. These regulations, detailed in an October 15, 2026 notice signed by Chesnel François, director general of taxes, state that the amounts due must be paid by means of checks made out to the Public Treasury-DGI. These rules are based on Article 156 of the Electoral Decree of October 6, 2026, which modifies the one from July 2, 2026.

The DGI requests that candidates write "Elections/Name and Last Name of Candidate" on the memo accompanying their check to facilitate the identification of payments. These fees are non-refundable, but no information is provided regarding the required amounts or payment deadlines.
Consequences
The notice published by the DGI raises several questions about the calendar and practical modalities for candidate registration. The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) has engaged in consultations with various stakeholders to review the initial election schedule set for December 13, 2026.
Uncertainties
The security situation in Haiti remains a major challenge for the organization of the electoral process. Financial and practical conditions of this procedure will need to be taken into account by those aspiring to various elective offices, especially those who must complete these formalities within tight deadlines.
