The wording "defined by the CEP in the countries where this vote takes place" seems to indicate that the CEP may establish different voting procedures and modalities for different countries. Not only could this lead to unnecessary complexity in the administration of the referendum, but different voting procedures and arrangements could also lead to different treatment of voters abroad, which could have an impact on turnout. Given the number of Haitian citizens abroad and the fact that they are not exposed to the same security risks as citizens residing in the country, which facilitates their participation, their vote can have a significant impact on the outcome. The Venice Commission recommends that particular importance be attached to drafting clear rules applicable to voting by Haitians abroad that comply with international standards, in particular the principle of equality.
