Haiti announced Monday that it will postpone a constitutional referendum that had been scheduled for June 27 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but did not give　a new date for the vote. 

The decision was motivated by "difficulties" the electoral council faced as it tries "to assemble and train all the temporary staff for the realization of the poll," said　an official statement. 

The referendum was initially scheduled on April 25 and postponed to June 27.
