The United States urges Venezuela’s electoral authorities to release full and transparent voting results from the July 28 presidential election, citing discrepancies that do not reflect the will of the Venezuelan people. The U.S. supports the democratic aspirations of the Venezuelan people, advocating for their right to freely express their views without reprisal.
The United States has been closely monitoring Venezuela’s presidential election that took place on Sunday, July 28 and the subsequent announcements by Venezuela’s National Electoral Council.
We continue to call for Venezuela’s electoral authorities to release full, transparent, and detailed voting results, including by polling station. This is especially critical given that there are clear signs that the election results announced by Venezuela’s National Electoral Council do not reflect the will of the Venezuelan people as it was expressed at the ballot box on July 28. We are also reviewing other electoral data shared by civil society organizations and the reports of international election monitors.
The United States stands on the side of the democratic aspirations of the Venezuela people, including supporting their right to express their views freely and without reprisal.
