Haiti indefinitely postponed the elections scheduled for December and February, according to the electoral council cited by France 24, citing technical and operational requirements as gang violence continues to disrupt preparations.

The first round of the presidential and legislative elections was set for December 13, with the second round set for February 21, 2027. A council member confirmed to AFP that the December 13 date “no longer stands” and that a new timetable is being prepared, according to France 24, with information from AFP.
