Haiti postpones voter registration for first election in a decade, no new dates given
Haiti's CEP electoral council said on Wednesday it was postponing a voter registration that should have begun on April 1, adding it would shortly announce new dates to register for the nation's first presidential election in a decade.
CEP President Jacques Desrosiers told Reuters the delay was due to a legal matter tied to the new government of Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime, and that the government must now deliver a new decree which could delay the process.
Desrosiers said if the new decree is issued on time, elections could still be held by the end of this year.
