How does the voting process work in Venezuela? 🇻🇪
Venezuelans go through the so-called “electoral horseshoe” to cast their votes:

1. Voters run their fingerprints through a biometric ID machine.
2. They move to the second step, where a touchscreen machine is unlocked.
3. The machine prints a paper backup confirming the choice that is to be deposited in a ballot box.
4. Voters sign and stamp their fingerprints on the electoral record.
