In a recent development, a Venezuelan electoral official has raised concerns over the lack of transparency and veracity in the election results that declared President Nicolás Maduro the winner. The official, a member of the National Electoral Council, highlighted several alleged irregularities surrounding the July 28 election.
The electoral official pointed out delays in reporting results from automated voting machines and the banishment of opposition volunteers, which violated electoral rules. He also mentioned a supposed hacking of the CNE platform, leading to a delay in collecting results. As a protest, the official chose not to participate in monitoring the vote-counting process.
