00:00This year, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela is trying a new street-level mobilizing tactic
00:05to bring out the vote.
00:06Our own boy in Venezuela, Brian Meir, has more.
00:10With less than two weeks left before Venezuela's presidential elections, supporters of all
00:14ten candidates are working hard to bring out the vote.
00:18The governing Socialist Unity Party has a long history of popular mobilization, but
00:22this year they're using a new strategy to bring out the vote for incumbent president
00:27Nicolás Maduro, called one times ten times seven.
00:33Every one of us is capable of mobilizing ten people and convincing them to find seven more.
00:40And during these days, we have to do it in a way that is objective, clear, precise and
00:44disciplined.
00:48We have to be efficient and effective to re-elect our leader Nicolás Maduro.
00:52Using an old tactic of asking every party member to convince ten people to vote for
00:56him as a starting point, President Maduro is asking them to ask each person they convince
01:01to vote for him to try to convince seven more.
01:05The number seventy, which is the potential number of votes each person can mobilize using
01:09the strategy, is symbolically important.
01:13If former President Hugo Chávez were alive today, he would celebrate his seventieth birthday
01:18on election day.
01:22I am raising people's consciousness, including my family, my children, my nephews and my
01:27mom, by reminding them what we have achieved and showing them and explaining things that
01:33the government is doing now.
01:38Not by making up stories, but by telling the truth.
01:41How well is this new one times ten times seven strategy going to work?
01:45The world will find out on July 28th, when millions of Venezuelans go to the polls.
01:50Brian Muir, Tell Us Sir, Caracas.
