He reiterated that 40 days before the event, “the training and selection of polling station members and the rest of the electoral personnel essential for carrying out the election is essential. These are workshops on the technical aspects of the electoral process.
The CP indicated that they are teaching, together with volunteers, training workshops aimed at facilitators who will later train electoral personnel. «60 workshops have been held so far. “Up to 162 national trainers and 1,847 regional facilitators in 23 states have already been trained.”
For the October 22 elections, 3,010 voting centers were activated, distributed in 331 municipalities throughout the country. Abroad, 87 voting centers were set up in 30 countries “where 85 local committees are being organized, which have more than 1,000 members and will have the support of thousands more Venezuelans in the tasks of electoral personnel and support personnel for the process.” .
“The Primary advances as an exercise of citizen rights, always guided by the principles of impartiality and reliability that distinguish it,” the Commission noted.
In addition, said body reported that they have met with representatives of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the diplomatic delegations of 19 countries and the European Union with the aim of promoting knowledge of the primaries “as an exercise of rights, achieve international awareness regarding the process and facilitate the holding of election day abroad.
