In an official statement, signed by Gaillot DORSINVIL, President of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) this one informs the public that a high level of fraud and irregularities of various kinds have been discovered in the tabulation of votes.

This was followed by greater involvement of the Legal Control Unit and the adoption of more stringent verification measures.

These provisions which have proved to be necessary for the reliability of the results, unfortunately affected the pace of the Tabulation Center, which is no longer able to produce its report on the date originally scheduled.

The Provisional Electoral Council is required to postpone to Monday, April 4, 2011 the publication of preliminary results.

The Provisional Electoral Council thanks the population for its understanding and reiterates its commitment to conduct the electoral process to a successful conclusion.
