01 / Your next step
A clearer path to participation.
Nationality documentation, a national ID, and electoral registration are separate steps. A Haitian passport—or joining this website—does not automatically register you to vote.
The proposed 2026 framework contemplates eligible diaspora participation. The legal text and its application require verification before publication.
Awaiting verification: overseas registration arrangements, locations, dates, and voting procedures. This preview does not confirm that registration or voting abroad is available.
Review CEP legal sources- 01
Understand eligibility
Start with nationality and the applicable electoral rules—not assumptions about where you live.
- 02
Gather documents
Ask the relevant consulate which nationality documents apply to your circumstances.
- 03
Obtain or update your national ID
A passport and a national identification card are different documents. Confirm available services before traveling.
- 04
Follow official voter registration
Use an official service only after its current operation and overseas applicability are verified.
- 05
Confirm registration and polling location
Do not assume a consulate is a polling place. Wait for applicable official instructions.
- 06
Prepare to vote
Review the confirmed dates, required documents, and sourced candidate information.

- Qualification status, with source and date
- Background, public record, and original statements
- Sourced positions—not scores or endorsements
- “Not publicly stated” when a position is unknown
Directory and side-by-side comparison are in development. Profiles will be published only after status and source checks.
03 / Beyond borders
Connected by more than geography.
Family. Culture. Expertise. Remittances. Haitians abroad already help shape Haiti’s future. Civic participation adds another connection—it never means withdrawing support from loved ones.
Population and ancestry estimates are not counts of eligible or registered voters. Financial and population figures are withheld in this preview pending source verification.
Explore the numbers
Illustration of scale only—not a forecast, eligible-voter count, actual participation, or proof of a changed result. Outcomes depend on eligibility, registration, turnout, and how votes are distributed. The diaspora is not a single voting bloc.
