Venezuela opposition holds mock election consultation in 10 states, demands new CNE and elections

The Venezuelan opposition initiative 'Quiero Elegir' conducted a mock electoral consultation across ten states, including Distrito Capital, Miranda, and Zulia, to demand a new National Electoral Council (CNE) and fresh elections. This is a continuation of opposition pressure tactics following the disputed 2024 election, but the scale and coordination signal sustained mobilization. The regime's response is uncertain, and the consultation has no official legal standing.
