Capriles says team will have witnesses at all polling stations
Caracas, Sep 18 (EFE). - The campaign team of the candidate of the opposition alliance of Venezuela, Henrique Capriles, has about 210,000 witnesses who will oversee the election process in the 13,810 polling stations for elections in Venezuela, said today the coordinator campaign, Leopoldo Lopez.

"There are approximately 210,000 people who are arranging for them to work in the electoral process," Lopez said during a meeting with the international press, to ensure that they would meet the goal of being 100% of the polling stations even if they are located in remote sites.

He said the 117,000 witnesses who have to monitor 39,500 polling stations added another 16,000 to see queues of voters and 80,000 more that will support outside the institutions empowered to suffrage.

"To win elections in Venezuela must have two elements: the vote must be taken as in any election and must also have the ability to defend the votes," said Capriles command coordinator, to clarify that it is the first time imposing the goal of bringing witnesses to the whole country.
