Many Venezuelan voters, frustrated and disillusioned, skip election for lawmakers and governors
- Venezuelans voted on May 25, 2025, for lawmakers, governors, and other officials amid sparse turnout in Caracas and other areas.
- The election took place shortly following the government's arrest of dozens of individuals, including a well-known opposition figure, amid calls from opposition groups to boycott the vote.
- Military personnel often outnumbered voters at polling centers, and some voters said they cast ballots fearing loss of state jobs and food benefits.
- A Delphos poll conducted nationwide found that just 15.9% of voters were likely to participate, with nearly three-quarters of them supporting the ruling United Socialist Party, which currently holds 19 governors' offices and dominates over 90% of the seats in the National Assembly.
- The low turnout and opposition boycott underscored public disillusionment with Maduro's centralized government, which limits regional officials’ influence and faces credible challenges to last year's presidential election results.
