As preparations for upcoming elections become more concrete, mobile identification centers are experiencing heavy attendance across several regions of the country. Deployed under the “Poto Mitan” initiative of the Office of Management and Human Resources (OMRH), the campaign aims to bring public services closer to citizens in keeping with its slogan: “For a people-centered administration and inclusive access to quality public services.” Images and videos recorded notably in Acul-du-Nord and Plaisance-du-Nord demonstrate strong public participation in efforts to obtain civil registry and identification documents.
In the Bas de l’Acul section of the municipality of Acul-du-Nord, the mobile Identification Document Reception and Delivery Center (CRLDI) continued its operations on June 18. Numerous citizens were present to obtain their National Identification Card, a document that has become essential for completing various administrative procedures and exercising civic rights.
A similar situation was observed a few days earlier in the Gobert section of Plaisance-du-Nord, where mobile civil registry, identification, and identity service units welcomed large crowds. Young adults applying for documents for the first time, adults seeking to regularize their status, and elderly citizens wishing to renew their documents all gathered at the centers, illustrating the strong interest generated by this outreach campaign.
Employees of the National Identification Office (ONI) have been working to accelerate the processing of applications and provide services accessible to everyone. This expanded presence in local communities aims to reduce administrative barriers faced by many citizens, particularly those living far from permanent government offices.
These efforts are taking place within the broader context of electoral preparations undertaken by the authorities. The electoral decree adopted on June 2, 2026, and published in a special edition of the official gazette Le Moniteur, marked an important step in organizing upcoming elections by establishing the legal framework governing the electoral process.
Several sectors of Haitian society have welcomed this development, viewing it as a contribution toward creating the conditions necessary for the return of elected institutions. Through intensified identification operations and the expansion of mobile public services, the government led by Alix Didier Fils-Aimé is demonstrating its intention to create the conditions necessary for holding general elections, allowing citizens to choose their representatives at the local, municipal, legislative, and national levels.
