The Electoral Council for Better Involvement and Ownership of the Referendum and Electoral Processes by All Sectors

The text describes a day of exchanges organized by the provisional electoral council with the heads of political parties and groupings on March 25 at the Hôtel Karibe. The Council presented its progress, including handing the Executive four key documents: a draft referendum decree, the referendum calendar, the budget and a prior-registration voting approach. It also reported a recruitment competition for decentralized structures, whose members were sworn in and installed in the electoral departments except Ouest I and II. Buildings housing the 11 BED and 149 BEC were identified and assessed. The Council answered concerns on security and logistics and committed to discuss progress, promulgation of the referendum decree and security conditions with the Executive.
