Data SourcesPolitical Database of the Americas (1999) Haiti: 1995 Presidential Election Results / Résultats de l'élection présidentielle de 1995. [Internet]. Georgetown University and the Organization of American States. In: [Link] . 27 February 2004.

See www.fsd.uta.fi/aineistot/Haiti.pdf and [Link] taken from an old edition of the CIA World Factbook. Préval had 88% of the vote or 862,715. Benoit won about 2.3% and Jeune had 2.5%. However, I was unable to use percentages in the vote totals. As a result, I rounded up to three for Jeune and down to two for for Benoît. This made the total for Others about seven percent.
Description Haiti's first peaceful transfer of power from one democratically elected president to another.
