Until now, the Primary Commission has not defined whether Venezuelans abroad will be able to vote in these elections. The decision involves defining the electoral roll that will be allowed to vote, that is, if it is limited only to those registered in the Electoral Registry or a new roll is created. Financial resources must also be available to assume the organization of this event in various cities around the world.
Currently, just over 107,000 Venezuelans are registered in the Electoral Registry to exercise their right abroad, according to data from the National Electoral Council (CNE), which the Commission has asked to authorize technical support for the use of that registry, in order to the voting points that the body already has and the voting machines without biometric identification.
