National Electoral Council (CNE)

election rally in Caracas

Venezuela’s National Electoral Council (CNE) was to release detailed poll-by-poll voting results on August 28. But CNE’s lack of communication before and after the deadline is concerning, write Steve Lalla, Jesús Rodríguez-Espinoza and Saheli Chowdhury, especially in the context of renewed attacks by the United States. 

Venezuela’s National Constituent Assembly (ANC) has denied permission to one of its grassroots delegates to stand as a mayoral candidate in the upcoming December 10 municipal elections.

Angel Prado was elected to the ANC on July 30 as a territorial delegate for his municipality of Simon Planas. Prado is also a leading member of the El Maizal commune in Lara state.
