The Venezuelan National Electoral Council (CNE) announced the locations of permanent access points available throughout the country for registration and/or updating in the Electoral Registry, amid the presidential election scheduled for July 28, 2024.
The information was released by the Venezuelan electoral authority through a post published on its official account on Instagram this Saturday, March 9. The electoral registry in Venezuela is permanent, meaning it is available to all citizens all year long. If a Venezuelan citizen changes their place of residence, then they need to update the registry with their new address.
