Caracas, July 29, 2024.- The president of the Electoral Branch, Elvis Amoroso, announced the first bulletin of the results of the 2024 Presidential Election, with 80% of the ballots transmitted and a strong and irreversible result.

The electoral authority reported that there was a voter turnout of 59%, for which 21,392,464 registered voters were called to participate in the electoral roll.

The candidate Nicolás Maduro received 5,150,092 votes, with 51.20%; the candidate Edmundo González received 4,445,978 votes, with 44.02%; and other candidates received 462,704 votes, or 4.6%.

The highest electoral authority reported that the data transmission system suffered a sabotage attack, which adversely delayed the transmission of the electoral results of the 2024 Presidential Election. In this regard, it was stated that an immediate request was made to the Prosecutor General of the Republic to initiate an investigation into the terrorist actions against the electoral system, polling centers, and electoral officials.

Likewise, President Elvis Amoroso called on the people of Venezuela to respect the Constitution and the laws of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as well as the mandate of the people expressed through the voting machines, and to maintain peace throughout the national territory.

He announced that the detailed results by polling station would be available in the coming hours on the Electoral Branch’s website, as has been done historically thanks to the automated voting system. Additionally, the results will be provided to political organizations on a CD, in accordance with the law.
