Carter Center Challenges Venezuela Election Results

The Carter Center, a U.S.-based election monitor, announced its inability to verify Venezuela's election results, criticizing the electoral authority for not releasing disaggregated polling station results. The organization declared the vote undemocratic after President Maduro's proclaimed victory.

The Carter Center, a U.S.-based election monitor group, announced on Tuesday that it cannot verify or corroborate Venezuela's election results. This announcement came a day after the country's electoral authority declared President Nicolas Maduro the winner.

The independent group, which has a longstanding history of monitoring elections globally, criticized the electoral authority for its failure to release disaggregated results by polling station, calling it a 'serious breach.'

Due to these issues, the Carter Center stated that the vote 'cannot be considered democratic.'
