"We are ready to deploy a mission [...] to assist the authorities for the registration of voters, updating of the voters' list until the vote tabulation" confirmed Frédéric Bolduc Ambassador of OAS in Haiti, adding that "The aim is to come in observation mission to provide technical assistance and make recommendations, but first it is necessary to have a date for the holding of these elections.
