Furthermore, the EU EOM recommends that at the designated closing time for voting centres on Election Day, only those voters that are queuing to vote at that moment be allowed to vote, and not those that join the queue afterwards. Such a measure would require amending existing legislation, and would put Venezuela in line with common practice in neighbouring countries and internationally; putting an end to the accusations of interested extended voting hours, which have been repeatedly heard in recent election processes, including the 2006 Presidential Elections, although in this case they were more subdued than in the past.
