As polls have officially closed in the Venezuelan presidential elections on Sunday, a new phase of expectation and uncertainty envelops the country. Several polling stations remained open after closing time so people queuing at the time could cast their ballot.
Amid this climate, Edison Research, which performs exit polling at major American elections, published figures showing that Edmundo González has a 64% to 31% lead over incumbent president Nicolás Maduro. According to Juan Forero, the Wall Street Journal bureau chief for South America, Edison polled 6465 Venezuelan voters across 100 polling stations.
