Presidential elections were held in Venezuela on 28 July 2024 to choose a president for a six-year term beginning on 10 January 2025.[1][2] The election has been politically contentious, with international monitors (including the United States and Argentina) calling it neither free nor fair,[3] citing the incumbent Maduro administration having controlled all power and repressed the political opposition before and during the election.[1][4]
President Nicolás Maduro ran for a third consecutive term, while former diplomat Edmundo González Urrutia represented the Unitary Platform (Spanish: Plataforma Unitaria Democrática; PUD), the main opposition political alliance. Other leading candidates of the Venezuelan opposition were disqualified by the government from participating in the election during their campaign or in previous elections. In June 2023, leading candidate María Corina Machado was barred from participating by the Venezuelan government.[5][6] This move was regarded by the opposition as a violation of political human rights and has been condemned by international bodies such as the Organization of American States,[7] the European Union,[8] and Human Rights Watch,[5] as well as numerous states.
There is evidence to suggest that González won the election by a wide margin,[9][10] with the opposition releasing copies of official tally sheets collected by poll watchers from a majority of polling centers showing a landslide victory for González.[7][11][12][13] The government-controlled National Electoral Council (CNE) announced falsified[14][15][16] results claiming a narrow Maduro victory on 29 July.
In the aftermath of the government's announcement of falsified results, protests broke out across the country, and the Maduro administration detained opposition political figures while refusing to relinquish power; criminalization of protest was widely condemned by human rights organizations.[17] World leaders predominantly rejected the CNE's claimed results and recognized González as the election winner,[10][18][19] with exceptions such as Russia, China, and Iran.[20] The CNE's results were rejected by the Carter Center. Analyses by media sources including the Associated Press,[21] the Washington Post,[22] El Espectador,[15] and Infobae[16] found the results lacking credibility or statistically improbable. The first country to recognize González as Venezuela's president-elect was Peru, on 30 July.[23] Political scientist Steven Levitsky called the official results "one of the most egregious electoral frauds in modern Latin American history."[24]

It had already been clear for months that Venezuela's presidential election on Sunday, would not be free or fair, as the government jailed opposition leaders or disqualified them from running for office, and prevented millions of Venezuelans abroad from voting.

The Venezuelan opposition has moved to show concrete evidence that the election was stolen. ... The opposition said it had collected data from 73% of the country's voting stations on its own and compiled it in a publicly accessible database on Tuesday. Using their national identification, Venezuelans can sign in and review a scanned tally sheet from their voting station showing how many votes went to each candidate. ... 'I found mine, the proof is there,' said Celina Ramirez, an opposition supporter who said she was able to log into the website to locate the tally sheet from her east Caracas voting center, which she said showed González receiving the lion's share of votes. 'There's no way the regime can fool everyone with their tricks,' she added ... The Carter Center, one of the few international organizations invited to monitor the elections, has urged Venezuela's government to release comprehensive polling data at the local level, which is needed to assess the electoral process. ...The opposition hopes the release of the database will increase pressure on Maduro's autocratic regime to make public the detailed results of the election.
