Internationale organisationer arbejder på at undgå snyd under næste runde af præsidentvalget i Haiti.
Measures are being taken at the 1,500 voting centres for Haiti’s presidential run-off election next month to prevent a repetition of fraud that marred the first round last November, a senior United Nations official said Thursday.
FLERE OBSERVATØRER OG VALGETS “EMMA GAD”
The Organization of American States (OAS) will increase its observers to 200 from 120 in the first round, electoral sheets will be colour-coded and call centres beginning Thursday will inform voters about polling locations.
A code of conduct is being developed, outlining behaviour for candidate supporters and others at voting centres.
KANDIDATERNE
Earlier this month, the Provisional Electoral Council announced that a former first lady, Mirlande Manigat, and a popular musician, Michel Martelly, would be the two candidates in the run-off, eliminating incumbent President Rene Préval’s party candidate, Jude Celestin.
In December, thousands of protesters rampaged through the streets of Port-au-Prince, accusing the ruling coalition of rigging the polls, after tallies of the 28 November first round put Ms. Manigat and Mr. Celestin in first and second place, with Mr. Martelly third.
