Venezuelan electoral process, “one of the most advanced and reliable”

Venezuelan electoral process, “one of the most advanced and reliable”

The mission from Unasur (Union of South American Nations) that will be acting as ‘accompanying observer’ in the coming presidential elections in Venezuela, 7 October, and the only organization allowed to fulfil that task, said that the Venezuelan electoral process is one of the “most trustworthy and reliable”.

“I know the electoral systems of South America and I can say with full authority that Venezuela has one of the most advanced and reliable electoral systems from the region and the continent”, said Carlos ‘Chacho’ Alvarez head of the Unasur mission on arrival to Caracas to begin the agenda of activities in anticipation of the October 7 event.

Alvarez’ delegation includes electoral experts from Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana and Peru and he insisted on getting off the plane, that the Venezuelan voting system has “great transparency” and can be audited in several different ways.

The delegation is scheduled to meet with the campaign manager of President Hugo Chavez who is seeking his re-election for a third consecutive mandate, and that from the opposition candidate Henrique Capriles Radonski.

(And while I know I will be mocked and derided with hate if my prediction is wrong I will be OK with the outcome.)
