This Senate resolution recognizes Edmundo González Urrutia as the winner of Venezuela's July 28, 2024 presidential election, rejecting the official results announced by the Venezuelan government. The resolution notes that while voting data from most polling centers showed González Urrutia won by a large margin, Venezuelan authorities have not released full and transparent election tallies, and international observers including the Carter Center have stated the election did not meet democratic standards. The resolution expresses support for the Venezuelan people's desire for democratic governance and notes that numerous countries including France, Germany, Spain, and several Latin American nations have either called for transparency or rejected the official results based on evidence of fraud. This is a symbolic measure that does not authorize any funding or specific actions, but rather states the Senate's position on the disputed Venezuelan election and expresses solidarity with those seeking democratic change in the country.
