Venezuelans go to the polls Sunday to elect a president between incumbent Nicolas Maduro and rival Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, in a tense atmosphere marked by the last-minute barring of international observers and complaints of widespread opposition repression.
Gonzalez Urrutia has consistently polled ahead in the race, with majority support among both genders and all age groups. Fixing the country's devastated economy is by far voters' top priority.
