 | | Caracas, November 2, 2004—Venezuelans went to the polls Sunday, October 31 to vote for governors and mayors during the regional elections. |
 | | Despite relatively high absention, the CNE’s preliminary results show Chavista victories that are unlikely to be reversed in 18 of the 20 states, and that Yaracuy and Carabobo are still too close to call, although Chavistas lead in both. |
 | | Although the incumbent opposition leader in Carabobo, Henrique Salas Feo, was expected to be reelected, preliminary results have calculated that he has received only 275,566 votes (48.7%) to the 285,363 (50.4%) earned by the pro-Chávez candidate Luis Acosta Carles. |
