Only 48 political organizations have reached their membership threshold

The process of preparing for the upcoming elections in Haiti shows that out of the 105 political structures registered by the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), only 48 have met the required threshold of 30,000 members. These figures, published on the CEP's platform, also indicate that women represent 30.6% of the candidates registered for various elective positions.

Among these political structures, 48 have reached the threshold of 30,000 members. These figures include 31 parties and 17 political groupings. The total number of registered members stands at 1,517,600, of which 840,086 are women (approximately 55.4%) and 677,514 are men.

CEP statistics show that women represent slightly more than half of registered voters: 469,695 out of a total of 921,750. However, their participation as candidates remains uneven depending on the position sought. For the presidency and parliamentary roles, they are underrepresented (0% for the presidential race, 6.9% in the Senate, and 13.3% in the National Assembly, respectively). Conversely, their presence is more pronounced at the local level: 40.6% of candidacies for mayor, 35.5% for CASEC (administrative councils of communal sections), and 34.2% for ASEC (assemblies of communal sections).

The breakdown by age group shows that candidates aged 31 to 60 represent 84.1% of the total registered. The youngest, between 18 and 30 years old, account for only 7.8%.
