On Thursday, November 5, 2026, Serge Gabriel Collin, the Minister of Economy and Finance, held an extensive discussion with representatives of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) including its President, Peterson Pierre-Louis regarding the financial arrangements for the implementation of the electoral process.

During the meeting, the CEP outlined its requirements for organizing the upcoming elections. Given the new, revised electoral calendar (https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-48770-haiti-flash-new-revised-electoral-calendar-oct-28-2026.html) and the operational and logistical constraints encountered on the ground, it has become necessary to update the expenditure planning for the electoral process.

The discussions facilitated a joint analysis of the requirements and the available budgetary resources. Both the Ministry and the CEP intend to continue this collaboration to ensure that informed decisions are made, including the adoption of necessary budgetary adjustments.

This consultation reflects the commitment of the various state representatives to work together toward a potential increase in the initial 120 million USD budget allocation, while remaining in compliance with institutional responsibilities and budgetary procedures.
