Overview

The right to vote in free and fair elec­tions is a right guar­an­teed by Haiti’s 1987 Con­sti­tu­tion and bind­ing inter­na­tional law. We believe that Haitians’ right to vote will be severely vio­lated if the deci­sion of Haiti’s Pro­vi­sional Elec­toral Coun­cil (PEC), to exclude 14 par­ties from the Par­lia­men­tary elec­tions pre­vi­ously sched­uled for Feb­ru­ary and March 2010, is allowed to stand. We will con­tinue to post rel­e­vant mate­ri­als and poten­tial actions as they become avail­able. If you have addi­tional infor­ma­tion, please email us at info@ijdh.org.
