The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is mounting a CARICOM Electoral Observer Mission for the presidential elections in Haiti, scheduled for Sunday, 9 October, 2016.

It's Dr. Steve Surujbally, Chairman of the Guyana Elections, Commission that will lead the Mission which was requested by Haiti’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Hon. Pierrot Délienne. Other members of the Mission will include experts in electoral management from Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.

For CARICOM, election observation serves as a platform to support existing democratic traditions within the Community as part of its wider policy of supporting democracy.
