Ongoing gang violence and funding shortfalls have repeatedly postponed Haiti’s electoral process since 2019, yet the Provisional Electoral Council maintains a revised calendar with the first round scheduled for August 30, 2026, and a potential December runoff. Recent preparations, including registration of over 300 political groups and steps toward diaspora voting, signal institutional momentum toward meeting that timeline despite the April 2026 delay in voter registration. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé’s administration continues to prioritize elections by year-end to install officials by February 2027, supported by international assistance and security initiatives. These confirmed procedural advances underpin trader consensus that another full postponement of voting day is unlikely before the current window closes.
