OAS / CARICOM Mission deploys its first observers to the departments
September 16, 2010
The Joint Electoral Observation Mission of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), led by Ambassador Colin Granderson, begins deployment of its first batch of electoral observers to the various departments of the Republic of Haiti.
These first observers will be present at the drawing of the members of polling stations done in the Communal Electoral Offices. At this stage, political parties will have an important role in appointing members of the polling stations as they provide the lists of persons who will perform those functions on Election Day.
The observers will monitor the final phase of the verification of the electoral list in the Departments of the West, South East and Nippes.
The observers deployed will also meet with election officials in the departments, parliamentary candidates, and all actors involved in the electoral process at the regional level.
The Mission is now composed of 16 members on the ground and expects to double its complement of observers to monitor the electoral campaign that will begin on September 27.
The Mission is continuing its regular meetings with members of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), national authorities, political parties, including those that are not participating in these elections, presidential candidates, civil society organizations and representatives of the international community.
