Results Notes

The law does not establish a fixed statutory deadline for the Constitutional Council (CC) to certify presidential election results. Under Article 54 of the Electoral Code, the Ministry of the Interior must announce the nationwide results no later than midnight on the day following the vote (i.e., 11 April 2026 for the 10 April 2026 election). Candidates may file complaints regarding the regularity of electoral operations within 10 days after the proclamation of the results (Article 70). When a complaint is filed, the Constitutional Council reviews the case and must issue its decision within two months (Article 74). Therefore, the final certification timeline depends on whether complaints are lodged and adjudicated. Source: https://cdn.accf-francophonie.org/2019/03/djibouti-loi-orga-elections.pdf
