The first vice-president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Diosdado Cabello, held a press conference this Wednesday to send instructions and guidelines to the bases of the red awning, regarding the announcement of the electoral calendar.

In this regard, Cabello questioned whether opposition leaders disagree with the date, because “ they have been asking for elections for about 6 years, the CNE (National Electoral Council) comes out with the date of July 28 and now they say no, that date is very uncomfortable, very soon.”

He also recalled that in Venezuela the CNE is the one who dictates the rules of the electoral game, which “yesterday, all its full rectors, approved unanimously, announced this calendar, which, in addition to July 28, has dates and milestones.”

In this regard, he explained that from March 18 to April 16, a new day of registration begins, new registrants, and changes of residence; “anyone who processes between March 18 and April 16 will have the right to exercise their vote in accordance with the provisions of the law.”

While “from March 21 to March 25, all candidates register, apply electronically and receive a certificate; this formalizes their registration with the National Electoral Council,” he said.

With regard to the date stipulated by the electoral body for the campaign, he indicated that it will be from July 4 to 25, since “we have our structure, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela will be deployed throughout Venezuela in particular tasks, so that July 28 will arrive having completed all the tasks assigned to it.”
