Quote of the Day

As thousands of Haitians in the United States face uncertainty over Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Haiti is taking a historic step to include its diaspora in the country’s democratic future.

Plans are underway to allow Haitians living abroad to vote in Haiti’s 2026 general elections—potentially giving millions of people outside the country a formal political voice for the first time.

The first round of voting is scheduled for Aug. 30, 2026, marking Haiti’s first national election in nearly a decade.
