Venezuelanalysis: Venezuela’s 2024 Presidential Elections: All You Need to Know This coming Sunday, Venezuelans will head to the polls for crucial presidential elections. Venezuela’s presidential elections are a single-round process won by plurality: whichever candidate gets the most votes wins. At stake is the next six-year presidential mandate, beginning on January 10, 2025, and ending on January 9, 2030. Incumbent Nicolás Maduro is running for a third term, and has touted a stable and growing economy in the face of crushing US sanctions. There will be 635 electoral observers from 65 countries on the ground according to Venezuelan authorities. The organizations sending delegations include the Carter Center, the United Nations, the African Union, the United Nations and the Latin American Council of Electoral Experts (CEELA). Western outlets have deliberately chosen to only consider polls predicting a landslide opposition victory to claim that Maduro could only win by resorting to “fraud,” allegations never explained nor substantiated.
