The body had the sole agency responsible for presidential elections and parliamentary elections. CEP used to be Haiti's main and only legal election agency.[1]

Mandate edit

As the sole legal electoral body in Haiti, CEP's responsibilities included the following:[3]

  • Ensuring confidence building among key actors involved in the electoral process;
  • Establish the balance between the various political players in the race, hence the role of arbiter.
  • Organize and supervise elections.
  • Enforce the election legislation throughout the national territory.
  • Ensure elections are held freely, credibly and transparently.
  • Intervening in the mobilization and coordination of activities related to electoral information.
  • Provide input in developing the legal framework for the electoral process.

Criticism edit

More than 30 presidential candidates reproached CEP for its obscure scrutiny policies and censured CEP for its lack of transparency.[4] According to Haitian Sentinel, CEP rejected transparency request by some presidential candidates including Jude Célestin, runoff candidate for the 2015 election.[5]
