Venezuela's Election Tally Sheets Validated by Independent Experts

Election observers confirm the legitimacy of tally sheets indicating opposition victory, amid ongoing disputes over July's presidential election results.

• The Carter Center, an independent election observer group, verified the authenticity of tally sheets from Venezuela's July election.
• These tally sheets, which the opposition claims show President Nicolás Maduro's defeat, are considered crucial evidence in the electoral dispute.
• Despite the opposition's claims, Venezuelan authorities declared Maduro the winner but have not released detailed voting data, citing a website hack.
• The opposition coalition managed to collect tally sheets from over 80% of voting machines, which they have published online.
• The Organization of American States and several countries have urged Venezuela to release comprehensive election results to clarify the situation.
