==Post-exile (2011–present)== After Aristide returned to Haiti in 2011, he abstained from political involvement. On 12 September 2014, Aristide was ordered under house arrest by Judge Lamarre Belzaire while under a corruption investigation.<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/13/world/americas/aristide-haiti-house-arrest.html?_r=0 | title=Ex-President of Haiti Put Under House Arrest| newspaper=The New York Times| date=12 September 2014| last1=Archibold| first1=Randal C.}}</ref> Aristide's lawyers and supporters of Fanmi Lavalas questioned the legality of the judge's order under Haitian law as well as the judge's impartiality. During the elections of 1991 and 2000 of Aristide and the 1995 and 2006 elections of Rene Preval, the turnout of the total voting population hovered at around 60–70%. In the years following the 2010 earthquake, turnout in elections dropped significantly to 20%. During this period, the right-wing rose to power, with mass voter disenfranchisement.<ref>{{cite web |title=Haiti's Unrepresentative Democracy: Exclusion and Discouragement in the November 20, 2016, Elections |url=http://www.ijdh.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Haitis-Unrepresentative-Democracy.pdf |website=Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti |access-date=26 January 2021}}</ref> In late 2016 Aristide, for the first time in many years, returned to electioneering, touring the country to promote Fanmi Lavalas candidates; the election results (decried by his party as illegitimate) returned to power right-wing forces in the country, with only a 20% voter turnout.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Charles |first1=Jacqueline |title=Banana farmer wins Haiti presidency, according to preliminary results |url=http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/haiti/article117626878.html |access-date=26 January 2021 |work=Miami Herald |date=28 November 2016}}</ref>
