The Provisional Electoral Council (French: Conseil Électoral Provisoire, French pronunciation: [kɔ̃sɛj əlɛktɔʁal pʁɔvizwaʁ], CEP; Haitian Creole: Konsèy Elektoral Pwovizwa) is the electoral commission of Haiti. The CEP is responsible for presidential elections and parliamentary elections, and is Haiti's main and only legal election agency.[1]

It was dissolved in September 2021 by acting Prime Minister Ariel Henry.[2] In September 2024, the Transitional Presidential Council reestablished the CEP in preparation for the next Haitian general election in 2026.[3]
