		The late 2004 elections, in the remote enclave of Oecussi and western districts bordering Indonesia, were plagued by administrative problems, the most significant being errors and omissions on the voter registration lists.
		However, the national election commission moved quickly to rectify most problems and each successive round of local elections held during the year saw improvements because registration list problems were dramatically reduced.
		For example, in April the wife of a member of parliament (MP) was admitted to a hospital, reportedly as a result of being beaten by her husband.

	The facts about Venezuela's parliamentary elections
		In their reports, the international observers of these elections from the EU and the OAS declared them fair and transparent, even though there was some criticism leveled at the CNE since 41% of the voters had problems understanding the automated system.
		In the elections on December 4th 2005, the six parties in the Chavez alliance received between 22% - 23% support of the electoral universe of 14.4 million voters or approximately 3.2 million votes.
		Therefore, this emphasis on the abstention figure to delegitimise the elections and the new National Assembly is a political ploy to discredit the CNE and the elected representatives of the Venezuelans, and destabilize the country.
