Electoral Decree art. 265: the CEP starts publishing partial results within 72 hours of the close of polling. The window runs one day past the calendar date (end of 20 Dec, UTC-5) because in Nov 2016 preliminary presidential results came 7 days after the 20 Nov vote (27 Nov 2016, per Wikipedia citing Reuters/Miami Herald). No results page exists yet: cephaiti.ht has no results section (its Centre de Tabulation des Votes page only describes the process; decree art. 268 says results are posted at the BED/BEC offices and on the CEP website).
final-result — announcedCEP calendar (27 Jul 2026), item 17: challenges to preliminary results 22 Dec 2026 - 9 Jan 2027; item 18: "Publication et affichage des résultats définitifs du 1er tour de la présidentielle et des législatives" on 9 Jan 2027 (Haiti is on UTC-5 in January). Decree art. 269: after the challenge period the CEP president sends the final results to the Executive for publication in Le Moniteur; these results "ne peuvent être l'objet d'aucune objection" (no court stage). The late bound is precedent, deliberately late: in 2016 the CEP published final presidential results on 3 Jan 2017, 44 days after the 20 Nov 2016 vote (ReliefWeb/HPN, "Jovenel Moïse du Phtk, élu président avec 55.60 % des voix"); 44 days after 13 Dec 2026 is 26 Jan 2027. For the Chamber and Senate, final first-round results may leave seats to the 21 Feb 2027 second round (decree arts. 87-97, 99-103). The CEP says meeting these dates "dépend de l'établissement d'un climat sécuritaire acceptable et des disponibilités financières".
