At the invitation of the Venezuelan National Electoral Council (CNE) the Carter Center's Council of Freely Elected Heads of Government observed the Dec. 6, 1998, Venezuelan presidential election. Prior to the elections, parties and candidates had been concerned about the preparations by the CNE, the level of training of the newly drafted poll workers, the performance of the vote tabulating machines, and the willingness of all candidates and their supporters to accept the results peacefully. Despite these concerns, the election did proceed smoothly. This report offers some suggestions for improving the electoral process in the future, and other key issues: how to tackle the poverty afflicting the population majority while facing a large fiscal deficit, how to best use Venezuela's rich petroleum resources, and how to restructure the political system through constitutional reform.
