Vicente Díaz calls for audit of 100% of balloting stations (head of electoral council)
"Given the close electoral result and the fact that we live in a polarizad country, I would like to request that 100% of the ballot boxes are audited,"
National Electoral Council director Vicente Díaz on Sunday asked for citizen-initiated audits in order to recount 100% of the paper ballots cast in April 14 presidential vote, given the narrow vote where Nicolás Maduro won by a slim margin of some 200,000 ballots.
"Since this result is so tight, I would like an audit to be conducted by the CNE. Given the close electoral result and the fact that we live in a polarized country, I would like to request that 100% of the ballot boxes are audited," said Díaz.
"Without questioning the results, I ask my fellow CNE directors to conduct the audit of 100% of the balloting stations," added Díaz.
