Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Haiti on 19 October 1986.[1] Voters elected 41 of the 61 seats, with the remaining 20 appointed by the National Council of Government (CNG).[2] The CNG claimed that voter turnout was 9.2%, although it was widely reported to be under 5%.[2][3] A total of 101 candidates contested the 41 seats,[4] which were based on the country's arrondissements.[5]
Aftermath[]
The Assembly started meeting on 1 December,[2] and drafted a new constitution, which was approved in a referendum the following year.[6]
