  • Regional and municipal elections were held in Venezuela on 21 November 2021. In the elections, all executive and legislative positions of the 23 federal entities, as well as that of the 335 municipalities of the country, were renewed. The pro-government majority National Assembly repealed the Law of Regularization of State and Municipal Powers which prevented regional and municipal elections taking place simultaneously, allowing to convene joint elections of governors and mayors the same year. Afterwards, new rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE) were appointed, the majority of members being pro-government. The census issued by the National Institute of Statistics and approved by the National Assembly, which influences the redesign of electoral districts, did not take into account the movements of millions of migrants leaving the country in recent years. The CNE ratified that the indigenous vote for the elections would be of second degree, meaning that, as in the 2020 parliamentary elections, the members of the indigenous communities will not be able to directly elect the candidate of their choice, but must choose a delegate through "popular assemblies", which would be the ones to cast the vote. On 8 August, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) held primary elections to choose its candidates for the elections, during whose campaign important divisions and internal differences were evident in the ruling party, and politicians such as Elías Jaua and Francisco Arias Cárdenas were excluded from the process. During the primaries, irregularities and acts of violence took place in states such as Barinas and Zulia. The PSUV vicepresident, Diosdado Cabello, declared that the fact that a candidate won the party's primaries did not mean that they would be the candidate for the elections. Despite initially opposing participation, on 31 August the opposition, under the Unitary Platform coalition, announced its intention to run in the elections and nominated candidates under the Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) card, after three years without having done so, although considering that the elections "they will not be fair or conventional". On election day, violence was reported in the Zulia state, including a polling center where colectivos fired upon. In total two people were killed and others were injured. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights expressed its concern about the reports. The results announced that the ruling PSUV won governorships in at least 18 of the 23 states. The announced turnout was 42.2%. After politician Adolfo Superlano filed an appeal before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ), the high court suspended the totalization of votes and the proclamation of the governor in the state of Barinas, when the CNE projections favored opposition candidate Freddy Superlano. The TSJ disqualified Superlano and ordered the elections to be repeated. A rerun was held in Barinas on 9 January which resulted as a win for the opposition candidate, Sergio Garrido, with 55.4% of the votes, while PSUV candidate Jorge Arreaza received 41.3%. The victory of the opposition brought an end to 22 years of PSUV rule and was considered as a symbolic victory. The European Union Observation Mission concluded that the elections were marked by lack of judicial independence and rule of law, arbitrary electoral disqualifications and the use of state resources for campaigning, despite having a more balanced electoral arbiter and improvements compared to previous elections. The Carter Center, which also observed the elections, concluded that the elections did not meet electoral international standards. (en)
  • Las elecciones regionales de Venezuela de 2021 se realizaron el 21 de noviembre de 2021.​ En los comicios se renovaron todos los cargos ejecutivos y legislativos de las 23 entidades federales así como el de los 335 municipios del país. La Asamblea Nacional de Venezuela de mayoría oficialista derogó la Ley de Regularización de los Poderes Estatales y Municipales, permitiendo la convocatoria de elecciones conjuntas de gobernadores y alcaldes el mismo año. Posteriormente fueron designados nuevos rectores del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE), quedando conformado por una mayoría de miembros de posición oficialista.​ El censo poblacional del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (INE) y aprobado por la Asamblea, que influye en el rediseño de las circunscripciones electorales, no tomó en cuenta los movimientos migratorios del país en los últimos años.​ El CNE ratificó que el voto indígena para los comicios sería en segundo grado, lo que significa que al igual que en las elecciones parlamentarias de 2020, los miembros de las comunidades indígenas no podrán elegir directamente al candidato de su preferencia, sino que deberán escoger a un delegado a través de «asambleas populares», que son quienes emitirán el voto.​ El 8 de agosto el Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (PSUV) realizó elecciones primarias para escoger a sus candidatos para los comicios regionales, durante cuya campaña se evidenciaron importantes fracturas y diferencias internas en el oficialismo, y políticos como Elías Jaua y Francisco Arias Cárdenas fueron excluidos del proceso. Durante sus comicios tuvieron lugar irregularidades y hechos de violencia en estados como Barinas y Zulia.​​​ El vicepresidente del PSUV, Diosdado Cabello, aseguró que el hecho de que alguien ganara las primarias del partido no significa que fuera el candidato para las elecciones.​ A pesar de oponerse inicialmente a la participación en las elecciones, el 31 de agosto la oposición, bajo la coalición de la Plataforma Unitaria, anunció su intención de participar en los comicios y postuló candidatos bajo la tarjeta de la Mesa de la Unidad Democrática, después de tres años sin haberlo hecho, aunque considerando que «no serán unas elecciones justas ni convencionales».​​ En el día de las elecciones se reportó violencia en el estado Zulia, incluyendo en un centro electoral en contra del cual dispararon colectivos motorizados; una persona falleció y otras resultaron heridas.​ La Oficina del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos expresó su preocupación por las denuncias.​ Los resultados anunciados mostraron que el PSUV ganó las gobernaciones de al menos 18 de las 23 estados. La participación anunciada fue de 42.2%.​ La Misión de Observación Electoral de la Unión Europea determinó que las elecciones se vieron marcadas por falta de independencia judicial y del Estado de derecho, inhabilitaciones políticas arbitrarias y el uso de recursos públicos para la campaña, a pesar de tener un árbitro electoral más balanceado y de mejoras comparado a elecciones anteriores.​ Después de que el político Adolfo Superlano interpusiera un recurso ante el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia (TSJ), el TSJ suspendió la totalización de votos y la proclamación del gobernador en el estado Barinas cuando las proyecciones del CNE favorecían al candidato opositor Freddy Superlano.​​ El TSJ inhabilitó a Superlano y ordenó que las elecciones se repitieran el 9 de enero.​ (es)
