Above, a panoramic of my voting center as I waited to vote. I took me about twenty minutes to do so and I was told 60% of the registered voters had voted already about the same as the Parliamentary elections in 2010.
The voting process was simple, image opened fast on the voting machine and I did not make a mistake.
Even though they say the vote is secret, here is proof of how I voted:
and I made sure my finger was covered in ink. I only vote once and I am proud to have voted.
Now that I cast my vote, Chavismo will begin worrying 🙂
Note added: The CNE just said the “Information step” that was slowing the process down is optional. This should accelerate the process. Chavez votes and begins talking about leaving polls open past 6 PM. Oh Baby!

Yo sigo opinando que el votod en venezuela no es secreto lastimosamente. Uno se la juega y vota sabiendo las repercuciones. Pero elecciones anteriores nos han demostrado de que no es secreto y el gobierno usa eso para intimidar a la pocision.
Aca hoy una discusion sobre exactamente este tema – http://www.the-counterpoint.com/discussion/C

Claro que el voto de hoy no fué secreto:
1.- introduce el número de cédula
2.- pon huella
3.- vota
Cuando el capta huella estaba a la entrada no se podia hacer la conección pero hoy si. 1, 2, 3 !

October 7, 2012 at 6:18 pm
Cnn says polls still open. Says gov exit polls favor chavez by 8 and opp says Capriles ahead by 1-3. Maybe HCF promising pardons for a vote now past hours.
October 7, 2012 at 5:20 pm
It’s 6:20 EST. Are the polls closed?
October 7, 2012 at 5:24 pm
not yet, officially 7 minutes
October 7, 2012 at 5:28 pm
It’s a half hour different here – Chavez time.
Hopefully that will be one of the things that is changed.

I am sorry for you guys, but the victory of the revolution appears to be imminent. I will tell you why the poor are still chavistas. It is because their lives got much much better since Cavez came to power. It is because he kept his promise to use oil wealth for the benefit of the people. Hopefully, in 6 more years people from the barrios will be able to buy a macbook as well. Until then, don’t try any more coups, please.

Poor? There are no more poor in Venezuela.
October 7, 2012 at 4:16 pm
It’s hard for me to imagine what motive the poor would have to vote for Chavez this time around. After all this time, despite all the promises, they are still poor. Those who have gotten rich under Chavez, sure. And probably a good number of government drones voting for their paycheck. But after more than a decade, if I were still poor, I would be voting for a new face who was promising to make things work this time.
October 7, 2012 at 4:33 pm
On my way to the polling station I walked through a poor slum area (Chapellín) and the poor Chavistas are outwardly as Chavista as ever. Why? I don’t know. But who knows how they will vote. We’ll see.
October 7, 2012 at 3:27 pm
French Huffington Post published an exit poll where Chávez wins with 54%

Huff and Puff would.
October 7, 2012 at 4:39 pm
The chavernment did the exact same thing in the referendum that they lost. They “leaked” an “exit poll” that didn’t exist and Al-Jazeera (and BBC) published it. That was the first time they lost an important election.
October 7, 2012 at 3:20 pm
I’m shocked Miguel, simply shocked. You have a Mac as a laptop? I never figured you for an Apple guy.
October 7, 2012 at 3:23 pm
He also has an iPad. 🙂
October 7, 2012 at 3:25 pm
The horror.
October 7, 2012 at 3:28 pm
He’s a damn smart guy therefore his choice of Mac.
October 7, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Oh so true…
October 7, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Finally.. “un dedazo” with a positive meaning!!! Well done diablo! ; )
October 7, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Oh, what an anger! I didn’t think of that…but then it would have been hard with the ballot box so close to these guys at the embassy. Still, when I went out there was a guy doing a poll. His second question: well, if you don’t mind…what candidate did you choose: Hugo Chávez Frías, Henrique Capriles, M…”
“HENRIQUEEEEEE CAPRIIIIIIIIIIIILES” I shouted for everyone on the queue to hear. The guy smiled and so did several nearby.
October 7, 2012 at 2:32 pm
It took me two and a half hours to vote in Cristo Rey in Altamira despite being a senior citizen. The “Information Step” was made optional when people started to protest and chant “we want to vote.”
Talking with fellow voters in line we all agreed that there was no way we would leave without first voting.
October 7, 2012 at 2:23 pm
uN DEDO CON MUCHO PESO! GRACIAS DIABLO
October 7, 2012 at 2:20 pm
It took me 4-1/2 hours to vote in Santa Paula, Caracas and the Information Step was not optional
October 7, 2012 at 2:19 pm
I congratulate you.In paris all went well.But gouvernement is feeding exit polls to the foreign press look at Huffington post paris edition ” vainqueur dans les premiers sondages de sortie des urnes” and they publish a big photo with a legend saying…who is the winner… and only latter they admit it is a gouvernement source.
October 7, 2012 at 3:54 pm
And, a telephone “exit poll”–The Leftist French in action!!!
October 7, 2012 at 2:16 pm
Congratulations! Hopefully there’s no irregularities later on.
Isn’t that supposed to be illegal? Taking photos of the paper?
October 7, 2012 at 2:19 pm
YUP!
October 7, 2012 at 2:27 pm
First thought as well, to avoid people using pictures as proof of their vote (ie, that they were selling their vote)… anyway Miguel has made his intentions known for awhile…
October 7, 2012 at 2:13 pm
Not enough! You didn’t show us the whole sequence. Next time, step by step..
