  • 8 years ago
Polls opened early Sunday in Venezuela's National Assembly election, with people lining up at polling stations well before the start of voting at 6 a.m. Just under 100,000 officials presided over polling stations nationwide, including 130 international electoral monitors. As many as 19 million registered voters are expected to cast ballots in the election, which has been predicted to be one of the tightest in years. The ruling socialist party PSUV has vowed to continue their progressive social and economic policies if it wins a majority. The right-wing coalition has said that they plan to oust President Nicolas Maduro if they win. teleSUR
