Venezuela's Electoral Board Considers December 13 for New Parliamentary Vote
CARACAS — Venezuela's electoral authority is considering new
parliamentary elections on Dec. 13, one of its directors said on
Wednesday, though the opposition says President Nicolas Maduro is trying
to rig the vote to sideline rival Juan Guaido.
The government-aligned Supreme Court in June appointed a new National
Electoral Council (CNE) ahead of the vote to elect new lawmakers to the National Assembly, which the opposition has held for the previous
five-year period.
The electoral board will meet later on Wednesday to approve a final
date, the director, Rafael Simon Jimenez, told reporters.
