PRESS RELEASE BY ORGANIZATION OF THE AMERICAN STATES
AND CARTER CENTER ON AUDDITIONAL AUDIT IN VENEZUELA
August 18, 2004
We have no reason to doubt the integrity of the electoral process or the accuracy of the referendum results as announced by CNE.
However, in order to assuage some concerns that have been expressed by the opposition about the accuracy of the voting machines in recording the actual votes cast by the voters, the international observation missions of the OAS and the Carter Center have proposed to the CNE that an additional audit be conducted. After being analyzed with the CNE, the national electoral junta has decided to conduct the audit as follows:
1. A national sample of 150 mesas will be chosen, completely at random, observed by the OAS and Carter Center and the witnesses of the government and opposition.
2. The original actas are currently at the CNE. The actas of the 150 mesas chosen in the sample will be extracted from their envelope and kept at the CNE in the presence of the international observers and witnesses of the government and the opposition.
3. The cajas de comprobantes (ballot boxes) and the paper receipts (comprobantes) for each machine are currently under safekeeping at the 24 military barracks (guarniciones) by the Plan República. These materials for the 150 mesas chosen will be extracted from their boxes at each garrison. The yes and no votes from the paper receipts and the voting records from each machine will be counted and the totals compared against the actas. All of this will be conducted in the presence of the same witnesses of the government and opposition and the OAS and Carter Center.
It is understood in advance that there may be some small disparities, not sufficient to change the results of the referendum, because some of the paper ballots may not have been placed in the boxes.
The result of this second audit should be sufficient to address the remaining concerns that have been expressed by the opposition.
