Venezuelan Opposition Leader Demands Booth Shutdown
Published 6 December 2015 (3 hours 10 minutes ago)

One of the most prominent voices in Venezuela's right wing has demanded election booths close, despite many Venezuelans still queuing to cast their vote.


Venezuelan opposition figure Henrique Capriles demanded Sunday voting stations close before 7:00 p.m., when the National Electoral Council had declared they must remain open “so that everyone has a chance to vote.”

Participation appears to have been high in Sunday’s elections, meaning many booths need to stay open in order to cater to all voters.

“Attention: We call on all Venezuelans who voted to go to their voting centers and demand their closure where there are no voters,” Capriles tweeted.

In another tweet, Capriles claimed the lines outside voting stations were part of a conspiracy.
