Venezuela’s promised elections face long delays, sources say

Venezuela's promised elections may face significant delays, with sources indicating that the vote could not happen for a year or more. This is due to planned overhauls of the courts and electoral authorities, despite Acting President Delcy Rodriguez's promise of a transition to full democracy. Key obstacles include the replacement of Supreme Court judges and the National Electoral Council directors, as well as the need to update voter rolls and resolve operational questions.

US officials have emphasized the importance of economic and social stability for a successful electoral process, which may further delay the timeline.
