Here is a picture of the nine member CEP formed in April, 2013.
The Provisional Electoral Council was first evolved as an interim solution in Haitian's 1987 Constitution to oversee the first presidential and local elections. It was then decided that after the first election, a Permanent Electoral Council would be established as per Article 192 for future elections, but that has never been constituted. All elections since 1990 were run by Provisional Electoral Councils. Recently, on March 29, 2016, the interim President Jocelerme Privert appointed a 9-member Provisional Electoral Council. The council, on March 31, 2016 following their installation and swearing-in, held the first working session and elected their office bearers with the following responsibilities. 1) Léopold Berlanger (Press sector): President; 2) Carlos Hercule ( Episcopal Conference of Haiti): Vice President ; 3) Marie Frantz Joachim (Woman sector): General Secretary; 4) Frinel Joseph (Reformed worship): Treasurer ; 5) Kenson Polynice (Peasant / Voodoo sector): Member ; 6) Marie-Herolle Michel (Patronal sector): Member; 7) Josette Jean Dorcély (Union sector): Member ; 8) Jean Lucien Bernard (University sector): Member ; and 9) Jean Simon Saint-Hubert (Human Rights sector): Member.

That accident cost him a broken femur, broken knee and fractured pelvis. He was a representative of the Haitian Catholic Church in the CEP (Provisional Electoral Council), joined on February 6, 2005.

What is the difference between CEP, KEP and CTCEP?

What is the difference between CEP, KEP and CTCEP?

Whether it is called CEP, KEP or CTCEP, they are all one single entity. The government agency in Haiti responsible to organize election. Depending on the condition it was created, it will have a different name. Currently, depending on the person referring to it, this body can be called either CEP, KEP, or CTCEP. It doesn't matter what it is called, but we all know that it means the same thing.

Why does the structure have all these names?
The best way to explain why the CEP is sometime called CTCEP or KEP has to do with who decides to form it. However the name that I hear the most is CEP. in this election, I hear some people refer to it as CEP, other times, KEP. what is it exactly?

In brief only few people really know

At the first press conference he's attended since being ill, President of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) Max Mathurin, addressed the restraints on the CEP budget and how this affected the organization's ability to fulfill their duty to the Departmental Electoral Offices (BED) and the Communal Electoral Offices (BEC). While still unable to pinpoint any set electoral dates, Mathurin did announce some activities pertaining to the upcoming elections. He reminded those present, however, that the country is still without a legal framework in the form of an electoral law.
