The electoral system had undergone major changes: a new electoral law (introduced in 2007, and revised a few months later), new recruiting methods for the poll-workers, and the introduction of automated voting machines. Furthermore, for the first time in 40 years, people voted for a candidate with no direct ties to the country’s traditional political parties, President Hugo Chávez Frías. The International Republican Institute, however, made several recommendations to improve the elections' transparency and integrity.
