Haiti - FLASH: Methodology of the Verification Commission
Friday at the Hotel Kinam, 9 days after its installation https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17302-haiti-flash-installation-of-the-verification-commission.html , the members of the Independent Commission for Electoral Evaluation and Verification (CIEVE) met with leaders of some political parties and civil society around the Commission's work methodology.

Like the previous Evaluation Commission (set up by the Government Martelly-Paul) the CIEVE intend to proceed an audit of a sample of 15% of the minutes. François Benoît, President of the Commission explained, "Basically, we can not recount the vote of all voters across the country, it would take too much time. Instead we will use a scientific method of random sampling," recognizing "a margin of error of 20%" the the future results.

A margin of error much larger than that of the previous Commission, which spoke of 3 to 5% margin of error https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16245-haiti-elections-what-found-the-commission-at-ctv.html

Yolène Mary Gilles of RNDDH, former candidate Mathias Pierre representing the platform "Pitit Dessalin", Maryse Narcisse (Fanmi Lavalas), C. Henry Baker (Respé) expressed reservations on the sampling procedure. Note that no representative of the two candidates qualified for the second round of the presidency (PHTK and LAPEH) were present at the meeting.

For his part, the representative of "Pitit Dessalin" rejected this method and required the verification of all 13,000 minutes, which caused the reaction fronm one of the Commissioner of CIEVE, Erick Gaillard, who recalled that the choice to apply sampling had been discussed even before the adoption of the Commission's terms of reference, with among other the political parties, including "Pitit Dessalin", which at the time had no objection to this approach.

Gédéon Jean, General Secretary and Spokesperson of the CIEVE said that after the work, the Commission will apply quality criteria for sample analysis and we will declare what will have been found and what we find as ranking of candidates. "We can not rewrite the results officially, we do not have this authority, but we will tell the CEP and the Executive what the numbers show,," added the President of the Commission, who said that the recommendations the Commission will be based only on what will have been observed.

Starting this Saturday, 80 operators will be mobilized at the Vote Tabulation Centre (CTV) to prepare the operations to be executed within the 22 days remaining to the Commission.
