Should Venezuelans living abroad be able to vote in their home country's elections?
Vente Venezuela, the center-right party of María Corina Machado, launched Constructores, a website asking Venezuelans living overseas to register, identify their location and prove their identity. The site does not register citizens with the party or any political party.
Why it matters
The effort targets millions of Venezuelans abroad who have left the country, a diaspora shaped by the displacement of about 7.9 million people over the past decade. Anti-socialist leaders argue that an election excluding these voters cannot be free or fair.
About 7.9 million Venezuelans have fled the country in the past decade, per the United Nations, and the registration study will determine where absentee voting stations are needed. The number of people registered so far has not been disclosed.
The players
María Corina Machado
Machado is the leader of Vente Venezuela and a prominent opposition figure who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025.
Vente Venezuela
Vente Venezuela is a center-right Venezuelan political party led by María Corina Machado that is organizing the Constructores registration effort.
Delcy Rodríguez
Rodríguez leads Venezuela's interim administration formed after Nicolás Maduro's arrest in January 2026.
The details
The Constructores site asks users abroad to provide their location and proof of identity, and the process includes a study to identify where absentee voting stations are needed. A second phase will analyze existing voter rolls and remove deceased or ineligible individuals. Vente Venezuela is running the effort through its established organization in Spain.
Timeline
January 2026: Maduro was arrested and Venezuela's interim government, led by Delcy Rodríguez, was formed.
2025: María Corina Machado received the Nobel Peace Prize.
2026: Machado returned to Venezuela after about a year of forced exile.
2027: Machado said presidential elections are expected to be held.
Political Context
The opposition has long argued that Venezuela's electoral process is not free, a dispute that intensified after the contested 2024 presidential election. The Constructores initiative extends that argument by organizing voter registration among Venezuelans who have left the country.
Venezuelans living abroad who want a voice in a future presidential election may need to register through the Constructores website, which asks for location and proof of identity. The registration does not enroll them with Vente Venezuela or any political party.
The takeaway
Voter registration for diaspora communities can be a deciding factor in whether an election is widely accepted, so readers following Venezuela should watch how the absentee voting process develops. The 2027 timeline gives the process room to unfold.
What happens next
Machado has said presidential elections will be held in 2027, and the registration process will proceed in phases that include identifying absentee voting locations and updating voter rolls.
