In a statement on social network X, the Haitian Prime Minister's Office said that the interim electoral council has seven seats with representatives from religious groups, journalists, farmers and unions; the other two seats reserved for human rights organizations and women's rights organizations are still unrepresented.

The last time the Caribbean nation held a general election was in 2016.

Under normal circumstances, elections in the country are held every five years. However, after the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021, Haiti has been in a state of serious unrest, preventing timely elections from being held as armed gangs have expanded their control over about 80% of the capital Port-au-Prince and most other areas.

In April, Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council, a separate body that acts as a government, was established. It is this body that has established an Electoral Council to prepare for the upcoming general elections.
