Over 41.5% of Venezuelans Took Part in Constituent Assembly Election
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A total of 41.53 percent of Venezuelan voters cast their ballots during the election to the Constituent Assembly, President of the National Electoral Council Tibisay Lucena said at a press conference.
On Sunday, Venezuela held election of members of the Constituent Assembly, a new legislative body with the power to amend the constitution.
Lucena said on late Sunday that more than 8 million Venezuelans cast their votes, Sputnik reported.
"That is a very positive result. Peace has won. If peace wins, Venezuela also wins," she said.
Earlier on Sunday, the country's opposition said that the turnout amounted to less than 10 percent.
