Venezuela Vote – level 1

11-12-2020 15:00

People in Venezuela vote for 277 officials for the government. The vote is very important for the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro. It is a chance for him to get full control over the government.

Some political parties are not happy with the vote. They do not believe that the vote is fair and free. They say that there must be international observers. Observers watch the vote. They make sure that the vote is fair. International observers are usually the United Nations and the European Union.

Officials think that only between 25% and 36% of people will vote. It is the lowest number in the last ten years. The government is trying to make people come and vote. The government gives voters money or food if they come.

Difficult words: political party (a group of people in the government who have the same opinions and ideas), international (something that exists or happens between countries), voter (a person who votes or can vote).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
