Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Venezuela by 2020 to elect the 167 deputies of the National Assembly.

Background

In 2018 President Nicolas Maduro proposed holding the parliamentary elections alongside the presidential elections scheduled for April 2018. However, the proposal was later denied by the National Electoral Council, which stated that holding both elections together would be too complicated.[1]

Electoral system

The 167 members of the National Assembly consist of 113 seats elected by first-past-the-post voting, 51 elected by proportional representation and three reserved for members of the indigenous community.[2]
