00:00And now we go live once again with our correspondent in Caracas, Gladys Quezada, with more information

00:06of this voting day.

00:08Hello again Gladys, tell us all the update of this voting day.

00:16Hello again Ana, yeah currently I'm still here in the parish El Regreo and we are here

00:22in one of the voting centers and also one of the communal centers in this voting day

00:27for the communes.

00:29So as we have been saying today, the communes are voting from one of the projects that,

00:35or maybe two, that they chose to nominate back on August 22nd and 23rd.

00:42But I want to show you one part of the process that rarely you can see in these actions and

00:48in these processes, and it's the vote counting.

00:51And as you can see, all the witnesses, the leaders, and also the members of the commune

00:57council, and leaders of the street, and maybe from the neighborhoods, they are just counting

01:03votes and they are telling the results of these elections, so they have partial results.

01:10If my cameraman moves, and he will move, you can see the counting, and you can see also

01:16which one of the projects has been the winner.

01:19We have the project number one, which corresponds with the construction of a mobile plant to

01:25supply gas to the locals.

01:28Also the project number two, with 111 votes, is the construction of a grandparent, the

01:34elderly club, for the recreation, the care for them.

01:38Also, project number three, the construction of a contempt wall.

01:45A contempt wall, a wall that can contain maybe water or mud, or maybe, because this is a

01:51community that is next to the mountains, so there has 69 votes.

01:56Also, the project number four, the rehabilitation of residences and rooftops also has 80 votes,

02:05and they are still counting because the project number five, the construction of water sewage

02:13in the main street has 68, and the rehabilitation of a bridge and sidewalks has 60 votes.

02:21They are still pending.

02:23There is the leader of the street.

02:26She is telling the votes, and she is announcing the results.

02:29So the project number seven has 30 votes, 104 votes, which means that the project number

02:38one is the winner with 174 votes.

02:42This is one moment.

02:43I was saying this is the closing moment of this process, and people rarely get to see

02:50what is happening.

02:55So now the leaders are explaining all the sums and all the results.

03:02So in the registry there are the same quantity of voters, the same quantity of people that

03:11came to vote.

03:12There were no incidences.

03:14There were no issues.

03:15There were no false registration.

03:18So this is a process that is going on under democratic values and with all transparency.

03:26Commune or nothing.

03:28Commune or nothing.

03:31Only if Nicolás Maduro mores.

03:33That's what they are shouting.

03:38They are shouting for the wrong commune.

03:40So that's what is going on.

03:42This is the festivity.

03:43This is the closure.

03:44This is the end of one day of voting, one long day for many of the organizers and the

03:49leaders of street.

03:50But as you can see, people here are celebrating that it's over and that the project with most

03:57votes will achieve the financing and the support from the government.

04:03They were telling me that also the second most voted project will also receive support.

04:08So this is good news for everyone here.

04:11So far, Ana, this is the information and this is the closure of a long day and a beautiful

04:16day because we got to see how people are decided for themselves, for themselves also and for

04:22the future of their commune.

04:24So back to you, Ana.

04:26Thank you, Gladys, for all your updates of this day.

04:29Thank you very much.

04:30See you next time.
