The Haitian government has asked the Central Electoral Board (JCE) to provide its technical and human resources for the printing of the electoral registers for the presidential elections to be held in that country next December. Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council made the request to JCE president Luis Arias Nunez. The request is being supported by United Nations and Organization of American States representatives that are participating in the organization of the elections. According to Arias, this demonstrates the confidence, credibility and level of maturity of the JCE. However, before a final decision is made, several points must be discussed as the request involves two different states. Arias indicated that the JCE will determine how long it would take to print the register and that the agreement must guarantee that Haitian technicians must be present, and UN and OAS representatives involved in the operation.
