Commission of Electoral Evaluation Makes Recommendations

The commission has mentioned that the Provisional Electoral Commission (CEP) does not have any credibility to hold a free and fair election in the country. Some of the improving steps that it has recommended for the remaining election are: All the actors involved in the process should find a consensual solution to avoid a debacle in the country. They must take every step to restore common men's confidence in the electoral process. The entire election process should be conducted in a peaceful environment. Too much presence of the foreign powers and their involvement in major decisions might damage Haitian's confidence in the electoral process.

The CEP should be free of influence by the BCEN and BCED. It should ensure proper training to its members and strengthen the supervision, control over the process. No voting center to be set in the private homes. The centers should be better equipped with lights, office stationeries and well trained pre-identified staff. A credible list of observers should be prepared. Photos of the minutes taken by supervisors must be posted in each voting centers and on the CEP website. List of representatives from all political parties should pre-informed and limited in each polling centers. No unauthorized person would be allowed to enter the voting centers. Every member of the CEP and of the electoral apparatus would remain answerable to the justice.
