I invite all Haitians, both women and men, to participate en masse in the elections of this November 20th. Especially the women and the young people who are going to vote, I invite them to go and exercise the right that the Constitution gives them to vote freely.

I encourage all citizens, women and men, in the affected areas to go to vote.

Your vote is your power as a citizen, every vote counts, make your voice heard, vote."
