Haiti's government is pressing forward with long-delayed elections, expanding voter registration into parts of the capital Port-au-Prince even as armed gangs continue to control large swathes of the city. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé has pledged full government backing for the Provisional Electoral Council, with a first round of presidential and legislative elections — along with a constitutional referendum — scheduled for December 13. Many Haitians, however, remain sceptical that a credible vote can take place without first restoring security, with the country having gone nearly a decade without national elections.
