Results & after the vote
How votes are counted, how preliminary and final results are established, and how results can be contested.
How votes are counted
From the moment the polls close to the publication of official results: how votes are counted at each polling bureau, how the results are transmitted and verified, and why official totals take time.
Preliminary vs. final results
Why Haiti publishes preliminary and final results, what can legitimately change in between, and the difference between being “ahead” and being officially elected.
How results can be contested
Three electoral tribunals, deadlines measured in hours, and a deposit you forfeit if you lose. Who can contest, before which body, with what evidence, and how to tell a filed challenge from an accusation on the radio.
