Vicente Díaz explained that when the results of an election in Venezuela are read, they are published with a set of additional information, which correspond to “complementary sheets” with the disaggregated data that supports the bulletin that the CNE issues.
Former head of the National Electoral Council (CNE), Vicente Díaz, stressed on Monday, August 26, that the electoral body was required by law to publish on its website the data broken down by tables and centers in order to issue the bulletin with the results of the process.
In an interview with the Successes Circuit, Díaz explained that when the results of an election in Venezuela are read, they are published with a set of additional information, which is the “substance of the bulletin.” In that sense, he said that they are complementary sheets to the result, which is the disaggregated data.
“When it is announced publicly, it is not broken down. But it must be published in detail at each of the tables,” he stressed.
He also said that confidence in the electoral system comes from the auditability of the results.

“For an election to be auditable, it is necessary to have the results table by table, but without these results, it is not known what happened at the table. The country demands that the results table by table not be available,” Díaz said.
In his opinion, the solution to the crisis in the country must be “discreet and in conversations with the parties” in order to determine its viability and he asserted that the opposition’s performance was adequate because it waited for the CNE to publish its first bulletin and publish the results, which can be seen on the Comando con Venezuela portal.
The lawyer also reported that the CNE must publish the results in the Official Gazette by Wednesday, August 26, but it must do so in a detailed manner, not the general result.
He also stressed that although the Supreme Court’s ruling is final, it should not be shared because there is no disaggregated data that allows verification of what is being said, nor does the Judiciary show what its high-level experts said after President Nicolás Maduro filed the appeal.

Unsurprisingly, the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) validated andThursday, August 22 the results issued by the National Electoral Council (CNE), which give the victory of the presidential elections to the ruler Nicolás Maduro.
In a ruling, read by the judge and president of the Chamber, Caryslia Beatriz Rodríguez, a “massive cyber attack against the electoral system” was confirmed, as well as the results of the “final report” delivered on August 20 by the experts hired by the TSJ for this purpose.
“Based on the results obtained in the expert process, we can conclude that the bulletins issued by the National Electoral Council regarding the 2024 presidential election are supported by the vote counting records issued by each of the voting machines deployed in the electoral process, and likewise these records fully coincide with the records in the databases of the national totalization centers,” says the report, an issue that was ratified by the TSJ.
