Bogot\u00e1 D.C., August 16, 2024. <\/strong>On July 28, more than 12 million Venezuelan citizens went to the polls to elect the president of the republic. The unprecedented lack of transparency from the electoral authorities has led to a serious political and democratic crisis in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the electoral observation organizations that are part of the Red OIE, the way out of this democratic crisis remains to respect the popular will expressed at the polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venezuelan electoral law clearly states that the National Electoral Council (CNE) must publish election results disaggregated by polling station. In this regard, it is necessary for the CNE to complete the entire procedure of announcing a winner, which involves providing all detailed electoral information, accompanied by the post-election audits established in the electoral calendar, which have been suspended: the audit of the telecommunications system, citizen verification phase II, and the audit of electoral data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 18 days without the publication of these records, the detailed information provided is insufficient to offer clarity and certainty to the public. Therefore, the publication of the images of the records, as well as an independent audit of the voting, delivery, and results consolidation system, is also required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abIt is essential for the Network of Electoral Observation and Integrity to advance the mediation currently being carried out by the presidents of Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico, and we urge these presidents to work with the Venezuelan authorities to ensure the formation of a panel of independent experts who can oversee the mentioned audits,\u00bb declared Alejandra Barrios, Secretary General of the Red OIE and Director of the Electoral Observation Mission – MOE Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red OIE considers it unacceptable for any authority other than the CNE to attempt to determine the election results without adhering to these basic elements of transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the organizations that make up this Network, any attempt to establish regulations that restrict the right to electoral observation is unacceptable. This technical exercise of evaluating elections is part of various international agreements and is an expression of the defense of human rights. A proposal in this sense excludes, without objective criteria, all international observations simply for engaging in electoral observation. Demanding access to information and accountability are not improper acts. Such a prohibition would legitimize the lack of transparency in the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Red OIE reminds that democratic processes are based on the indispensable premise of adhering to the fundamental principles of electoral integrity, with special emphasis on the transparency of the scrutiny, trust in the declaration of results, and respect for the guarantees of all participants in the electoral contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
