The observers come from 34 member countries of the Organization of American States (OAS), scholars and representatives of international organizations, explained Rosaura Sierra, director general of CNE International Affairs, Efe quoted.

For her part, CNE director Tibisay Lucena said, "Confidence, curiosity and admiration for the Venezuelan technological platform have turned the traditional international observation into an accompaniment program to learn about the Venezuelan electoral system."

"Electoral representatives from several countries have asked to be invited as observers (...) because they are interested in knowing about automatic voting and horizontal exchange on electoral processes," Lucena added.
