June – Haiti leader tells UN that constitutional referendum, elections are under way

DeLaurentis said the U.S. is providing more than $3 million to the Consortium for Elections and Political Processes Strengthening, which includes the National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems. Their activities include focusing on improving electoral administration, strengthening the competitiveness of political parties, educating voters on electoral processes, promoting electoral transparency and ensuring voter participation.

…

Other nations joined in in criticizing the government’s failure to prepare for elections. They also expressed unease over Moïse’s efforts to hold a controversial constitutional referendum that was scheduled for later this month, but indefinitely postponed by Haiti’s elections commission, citing the recent COVID-19 outbreak. The Biden administration last week said it was opposed to the process, which critics of the government have said is illegal.

This is what they opposed:

Text and context of Haiti’s 2021 draft constitution

The draft constitution proposes to grant Haitians living abroad the right to vote in elections and run as candidates (even as deputy and mayoral candidates, if one has “habitual residence” in Haiti). In addition, the Haitian diaspora will have the right to appoint representatives to the legislative body (not less than 5% of the total number of seats) (Art.100).

…

The adoption of this new constitutional text implicitly would also end the position of prime minister and create instead the office of vice president, who would be elected at the same time as the president (Art. 134). The prime minister’s office, which emerged with the 1987 constitution, was a departure from Haitian political mores anchored in and accustomed to a strong presidential system. The dual executive was often a source of political conflict, with the president suspicious of his prime minister and the latter seeing himself as a president in the making.

…

Other new aspects in the draft text include: the pursuit of equality between men and women (Art. 16); the uninominal ballot for all elected positions; the limit of the president to two presidential terms (Art. 136); the ineligibility of the president in office at the time of the referendum to run for the first presidential election under the terms of the new constitution (Art. 271); the requirement that constitutional amendments need approval in the legislature and then in a referendum, rather than in two votes in the legislature before and after general elections, as provided for by the 1987 Constitution; the harmonization of all political mandates for a period of five years, thus ensuring concurrent elections; and mandatory military and/or civic service for all 18-year-olds (Art. 90).

2nd version of the preliminary draft of the new Constitution

The revision of the text contains important modifications which, while proposing a new political system, strengthen the independence of the public authorities and the democratic achievements of the amended 1987 constitution. Indeed, the changes go in the direction of strengthening and independence of the judiciary which will have as a fundamental basis the recruitment of judges by public competition. Also, a redefinition of the composition of the Constitutional Court is now proposed, with the aim of being able to count with a body capable of resolving in a balanced way the conflicts linked to the interpretation of the fundamental law.

…

Finally, the new text puts in place new guidelines aimed at protecting democracy, through a more independent Permanent Electoral Council (CEP) and an Electoral Tribunal capable of examining and resolve electoral challenges.
