Effective until 11:59 PM on Monday, the mandatory provisions are related to the closure of borders and the prohibition of alcohol consumption, carrying weapons, and holding meetings or public events.
The Strategic Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces will be in charge of maintaining strict border control by land, air, and sea. This action aims to prevent activities by individuals who may pose threats to the country’s security during the electoral process.
According to data from the National Electoral Council (CNE), over 21 million citizens are authorized to cast their votes in 30,026 polling stations distributed throughout the country.
The formal installation of the voting tables will take place today through events in which the main members must verify the electoral material. They may also be accompanied by military personnel participating in the Republic Plan and international electoral observers.
On Thursday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is also the candidate of the Great Patriotic Pole, held his campaign closing in the capital city.
“Caracas, we did it again! Once again, the streets, avenues, and highways are filled with people from end to end,” he said, referring to the massive turnout of his supporters.
The Bolivarian leader then mentioned the need for the population to vote massively to strengthen Venezuelan democracy and maintain peace in the country.
“The people have defeated the most criminal aggression we have suffered in our history. We have resisted because we love our homeland,” he recalled, warning that “the extremist right will not return.”
