This Sunday, July 28, the head of the Carter Center's electoral observation mission, Jennie Lincolndio, specified that the organization deployed a total of 17 electoral experts in three states of the country, in addition to Caracas, for the presidential elections.

“Here we have a mission of 17 people, electoral experts from 11 countries. Our mission is limited, we are going to focus on electoral administration, and we also have observers in three places in the country, but we don't have a full deployment,” he explained in a press release published on the Unión Radio website.

He also indicated that the electoral experts are in Caracas, as well as in the states of Zulia (west), Barinas (west) and Carabobo (center).

He also argued that, according to the memorandum of understanding signed with the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela, the mission has guarantees to access the entire voting process, to move around the country and to be able to speak with the media and citizens.

“We are here to work, to evaluate the electoral process, to evaluate if it has international standards,” he said.

He also noted that this Tuesday, July 30, a press conference will be held in order to provide a first result of his observation process, so, he insisted, his work will focus this Sunday on gathering information on the voting process.
