Venezuela votes in election as opposition challenges Maduro’s grip on power
7,795
Published 2024-07-28
Nearly 21 million people are registered to vote, with a reinvigorated opposition trying to end the 25-year rule by the United Socialist Party with the promise to end the decade-long economic crisis that forced seven million people to emigrate.
Lines of voters were seen outside polling stations on Sunday in six different locations around the country, including some that opened late.
Polls close at 6 pm local time (22:00 GMT) and results could be published late on Sunday night or in the following days.
