Venezuela’s National Assembly (AN) President Jorge Rodríguez announced that the nationwide dialogue process to craft an electoral schedule had yielded an agreement endorsed by all participating parties. Signed by 152 representatives from diverse sectors of Venezuelan society, the document proposes 27 potential dates for this year’s presidential vote and will be formally presented to the National Electoral Council (CNE) on Friday for its review. The electoral authorities are expected to announce an electoral calendar by the end of March. Speaking to the press on Wednesday, Rodríguez said the agreement also gathered around 500 proposals on issues regarding broad aspects of the upcoming electoral process, which contain electoral guarantees for all political parties, equal opportunities for campaigning in national television and social media channels, updating the electoral registry, and inviting international observers as long as they comply with Venezuelan laws and Constitution. https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/venezuela-political-parties-interest-groups-sign-electoral-agreement/
