Elections in Haiti gives information on election and election results in Haiti.

The current president is Michel Joseph Martelly, who received 68 percent of the votes in the Haitian general election, 2010–2011.[1]


Latest elections

The latest presidential election took place on November 28, 2010, with a run-off election taking place on March 20, 2011.

As no candidate received a majority of the vote cast in the first-round election, a second round was held on March 20, 2011. Originally, it was to be between Mirlande Manigat and Jude Célestin, who were the two who received the most votes. However, protests took place claiming that the election results were fraudulent. As a result, the electoral commission removed Célestin from the race, allowing Martelly to face Manigat in the March run-off.[2]
