“In the coming hours, in compliance with legal regulations, the comprehensive electoral schedule for these elections will be made public,” said CNE President Elvis Amoroso, adding that his institution will conduct the necessary audits to ensure reliability and transparency in the electoral process.
He also mentioned that all parties and candidates participating in the 2025 elections must sign a document committing to respect and abide by the “results issued by the National Electoral Council as the constitutional authority of the Republic.”
Amoroso also stated that the CNE will remain in permanent session to ensure all steps are taken for the “successful development of the electoral process on April 27.”
On January 17, the CNE also declared itself in permanent session to analyze the proposals from political parties collected by the National Assembly for the legislative, regional, and local elections scheduled for this year.
This announcement was made by the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, at the CNE headquarters in Caracas. On that occasion, he stated that the Special Commission for the Review of Electoral Rules and Laws submitted a document to CNE authorities containing proposals related to the 2025 electoral processes.
These proposals addressed topics such as organization, format, the call for elections, nominations, and campaign financing for approximately ten electoral events, six of which will involve public consultations.
