Three weeks before Haiti is scheduled to hold the first round of presidential elections this year, the government still lacks between 31 and 50 million dollars to carry out successful presidential elections this year. Nearly every electoral office is up for grabs in Haiti -- about 40,000 candidates have registered for 6,102 posts, including 140 mayors, 139 parliamentarians and the president. Parliamentary elections are scheduled for August 9, and runoffs would be held on October 25, which would also be the first round of presidential elections and local elections which have been postponed since 2011.
