This article gives information about the new candidates seeking presidential office. The Venezuelan people will have to decide between Chavez's appointed successor Nicholas Maduro or the governor of Miranda state Henrique Capriles. The article mentions how hundreds of electronic monitors have been given by other nations in order to keep the election process fair.
