CARACAS, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- The director of Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE), Socorro Hernandez, announced Saturday that a group of 70 international observers will supervise Sunday's regional elections.
Speaking to the state-owned Venezolana de Television, Hernandez said that members of the Council of Latin American Electoral Experts (CEELA) had been invited by the CNE.
These observers will present a technical report to authorities after auditing the CNE technological platform.
Nicanor Moscoso, president of CEELA, added that at least 12 audits would be carried out and guaranteed the electoral process would be "transparent."
According to Moscoso, members of each political party will participate in the audits, who will also sign a document stating their trust in the system.
"We are satisfied, confident that tomorrow, the electoral process will take place with absolute transparency. The results will be the right ones," said the CEELA president.
On Sunday, over 18 million Venezuelans are invited to vote for 197 candidates running for the country's 23 governorships.
