The CEP is keeping the closing of supporter registration at midnight on November 8.

The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) confirmed, in a press release on Saturday, November 7, 2026, that the registration of members and supporters would end on Sunday, November 8, at midnight. The measure applies to parties, political groups, and independent candidates, according to the updated electoral calendar.

The CEP has asked the system administrators to complete operations within the scheduled time and to apply the requirements of the electoral decree. It also reiterated its commitment to conducting the process in an inclusive, impartial, and transparent manner.

A candidate demands seven more days

The day before this note, on Friday, November 6, 2026, Marie-Anne Savannah Hadid Savary, an independent presidential candidate, sent a letter to the officials of the CEP. In it, she denounces repeated malfunctions of the electoral platform and requests a seven-day extension of the registration deadline.

According to her, outages, service interruptions, and IT blockages have caused her team to lose more than seven days of work. She reports that the platform was unavailable on November 5, which halted operations that day.

One million references, a fraction accepted

The candidate's team claims to have entered approximately one million supporter identification card references, while the system reportedly accepted only a limited quantity. She is demanding technical explanations regarding the data received, validated, and rejected.

Relying on the revised electoral decree of October 6, 2026, she is asking the CEP for corrective measures and equal treatment for independent candidates, parties, and political groups facing the same difficulties. She specifies that these seven days would not be a personal favor, but compensation for lost time.

Response expected before the deadline

Marie-Anne Savannah Hadid Savary is demanding an official response before the end of the registration period. Failing appropriate measures, she reserves the right to pursue legal recourse. It is unknown whether the CEP has responded to her request.

According to the updated electoral calendar, the first round of the presidential and legislative elections is scheduled for July 18, 2027.
