    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.
