This Friday, June 14, the first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, recalled that the electoral system during the Fourth Republic was “authoritatively tricky.”

“Voting before, in Venezuela, was manual (...) With cheaters like the adecos and the Copeyanos that's not good, they had the scrutiny done, they didn't need the card, they historically made fun of the people,” Cabello said during the press conference for the Launch of the Registry of Electoral Machinery 1x7x10.

In that regard, he also mentioned that at that time those who could vote were only those who had a card, with which he had no more than 2 million Venezuelans, because they could not read or write. In addition, he indicated that the electoral centers were only close to the house of the leaders that governed the country at that time.

For this reason, he stressed that when the Revolution arrived and transformed the Electoral System and implemented technology such as fingerprints, to make it one of the best in the world, the opposition shouted. “Because it captures fingerprints, among other things, it guarantees one vote per person and for them that's catastrophic,” he said.

As for the 1x10x7, he specified that it will allow us to go beyond Chavism, “a proposal that Commander (Hugo) Chávez always made (...) the Commander said so, it's not just the parties, because there are people who operate in communities that have nothing to do with the parties (...) and with this we are covering all the specters that lie ahead of us”.
