HISTORY

It has its beginnings on September 11, 1946, being called Supreme Electoral Council, through the Congress of the Republic of Venezuela. At that time, the Supreme Electoral Council was a court that appealed all decisions made by the so-called State Boards and was in charge of inspecting the electoral process. It was then the symbol of Electoral Power.

In 1946 elections by direct vote were implemented. That same year the Constitution applied direct voting to elect the President of the Republic. In that year, the achievement was also obtained that women began to exercise the right to vote, also people who could not read or write and young people who were over 18 years of age, thus implementing the universal vote.

So far everything was going well until in 1948 when the country’s institutions were interrupted by a military coup that lasted approximately 10 years. It was not until January 1958 that the constitutionality was restored and the CSE took the lead again and began to organize and inspect absolutely all the electoral processes carried out in the country.

On June 20 of that same year, its members were appointed, and the CSE was finally established on June 25.

In 1997, this institution changed its name to National Electoral Council which is the one we know today, this was due to the entry into force of the Organic Law of Suffrage and Political Participation.

It began as an Autonomous Institute, defining these institutes as state agencies that do not have their own legal personality, in addition to not being considered as a public power.

The highest body of the Electoral Power It is granted by the new constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela issued thanks to a referendum.
