Haiti's election dates have now been reset againHaiti's election dates have now been reset for the fourth time in the last five months.
The Interim Government of Haiti (IGH) will now miss the February 7, 2005 deadline for transferring power that it had promised to meet for 21 months.
Voting registration stretched past the August deadline into October, because registration facilities were not installed in poor urban and rural areas.
The latest schedule calls for a first round of Presidential and legislative elections on January 8, a runoff election on February 15, and local elections on March 5. Several remaining hurdles make reaching this goal unlikely, including distributing electoral cards, printing the ballots, recruiting and training electoral officials and establishing enough voting centers.
