"Venezuela was and is a dictatorship, not a socialist nation" Quit while you are behind.

I'm wondering if you even know what the words democratic, socialist or dictator mean. I don't think you do. And you certainly don't know anything about Venezuela... The President of Venezuela is elected by plurality in a single round of voting. [15] The elections will be overseen by the National Electoral Council, with poll workers drafted via a lottery of registered voters. Polling places are equipped with multiple high-tech touch-screen DRE voting machines, one to a "mesa electoral", or voting "table". After the vote is cast, each machine prints out a paper ballot, or VVPAT, which is inspected by the voter and deposited in a ballot box belonging to the machine's table. The voting machines perform in a stand-alone fashion, disconnected from any network until the polls close. [16] Voting session closure at each of the voting stations in a given polling center is determined either by the lack of further voters after the lines have emptied, or by the hour, at the discretion of the president of the voting table. As part of the election administration the National Electoral Council planned a post-election audit of 54% of polling places, comparing the electronic records with the paper trail. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_presidential_election,_2018
