More Than 22 Million Member Submissions Rejected for Mismatches at the CEP

The Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) has thrown out more than 22 million submissions in the registration of political organizations' members. Discrepancies between the data submitted and the reference databases are the leading cause of rejection. These figures appear in the statistics published on the institution's platform, which is the source of everything that follows.

Political organizations must gather 30,000 members ahead of Haiti's upcoming elections. Checks carried out on the information they gave the CEP have turned up irregularities.

The Figures Shown by the CEP

The platform lists 22,267,873 submissions rejected for mismatches. In addition, there are 8,963,202 cases of duplicates and 7,565,863 rejections due to incorrect national unique identification numbers (NINU).

What Each Reason Covers

A mismatch is a gap between what was declared at registration and what the reference databases contain. A duplicate is a piece of information sent more than once. A NINU-related rejection concerns a number that the system did not validate.

What Is Not Specified

The data reviewed does not say how many submissions were accepted. Nor does it break down the rejections by political organization.
