resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com
resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com was an opposition-run portal created after Venezuela’s July 28, 2024 presidential election to let users inspect scanned polling-table tally sheets, not an official National Electoral Council results website.
What did resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com actually show?
The portal was announced on July 29, 2024 by opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia. Its central feature was a search box where a Venezuelan identity-card number could be entered to locate the tally sheet, or acta de escrutinio, associated with that voter’s polling table.
That distinction matters. The site did not reveal an individual person’s vote. Venezuela uses a secret ballot, and the actas record aggregate totals for each candidate at a polling table. Reuters fact-checked viral claims suggesting the website could show whether a specific person voted for Nicolás Maduro or another candidate and found those claims to be false. The identity number was being used to identify the relevant voting location, not to expose a personal ballot.
The scanned actas typically contained candidate totals and identifying information for the voting table. They were copies of records produced by Venezuela’s electronic voting system after polls closed.
Where did the tally sheets come from?
Venezuela’s voting machines generate a paper tally sheet after voting finishes. Copies can be obtained by accredited party witnesses at polling stations, creating a physical record that can be compared with electronically transmitted totals. The Carter Center described this paper trail as a key feature of Venezuela’s voting system.
The opposition organized thousands of witnesses to collect these records, then scanned and uploaded them. The Associated Press later processed almost 24,000 tally-sheet images representing about 79 percent of voting machines. Its analysis covered roughly 10.26 million votes and found about 6.89 million for González and 3.13 million for Maduro in that dataset.
The Washington Post separately analyzed more than 23,000 tally sheets representing about 79 percent of voting tables. It limited its analysis to records with valid, scannable QR codes and also inspected hundreds of physical sheets. The Post reported a roughly 67-to-30 percent split between González and Maduro in the records it reviewed.
Those independent checks are important because they go beyond simply repeating claims published by the opposition.
How did the portal’s figures compare with the CNE result?
The National Electoral Council, or CNE, first announced that Maduro had received 5,150,092 votes, or 51.2 percent, while González had 4,445,978 votes, or 44.2 percent, based on what it said was 80 percent of polling-station results. On August 2, the CNE issued updated totals of 6,408,844 votes for Maduro and 5,326,104 for González, corresponding to 51.95 percent and 43.18 percent.
The opposition-published tally sheets pointed in the opposite direction. A larger opposition dataset later associated with resultadosconvzla.com reported 7,443,584 votes for González and 3,385,155 for Maduro.
The Carter Center’s final election report, published in February 2025, analyzed 24,532 available actas, about 81.7 percent of the expected total. In those records, it counted 7,156,462 votes for González and 3,241,461 for Maduro, or roughly 67.1 percent versus 30.4 percent.
These are competing result sets, and they should not be presented as though they came from the same authority. The CNE figures were the official state announcement, while the other totals came from copies of polling-table records collected and published outside the CNE.
Why did the tally sheets become so important?
The dispute was intensified by the absence of publicly released, polling-station-level CNE results that could be independently matched against the announced national totals.
The Carter Center, which had been invited by the CNE to observe the election, said it could not verify or corroborate the CNE’s declared result because the electoral authority did not publish disaggregated results by polling station. In its February 2025 final report, the organization concluded that the election did not meet international standards of electoral integrity.
A United Nations panel of electoral experts also reported that the CNE announced national totals without publishing the detailed tabulations normally needed to support them. The Venezuelan government, meanwhile, attributed delays in tabulation to a cyberattack. Venezuela’s Supreme Justice Tribunal later ratified the CNE result on August 22, 2024.
The key transparency issue was therefore not simply which side claimed victory, but whether the underlying official table-by-table data were made available for independent comparison.
Was the website blocked inside Venezuela?
Yes, according to independent internet-monitoring group VE sin Filtro. The organization reported that resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com was blocked by major Venezuelan internet providers shortly after it launched on July 29, 2024.
VE sin Filtro documented restrictions involving providers including CANTV, Digitel, Movistar, Inter and NetUno, using methods such as DNS and HTTP blocking. The opposition responded by promoting alternative domains, including ganovzla.com, which VE sin Filtro also reported as blocked.
This access problem is easy to miss in older coverage. A portal can be publicly available on the wider internet while still being difficult or impossible to reach from domestic networks, which affects how useful it is to the voters it was designed to serve.
Is resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com still working in 2026?
As of October 2, 2026, the original domain does not appear to function as a normal public results portal. A direct check returned a 502 Bad Gateway response, and VE sin Filtro’s current blocking database labels the domain as abandoned, meaning it is no longer responding as the original service.
That makes contemporary descriptions calling it an active lookup tool outdated. For historical research, the more useful evidence now comes from archived reporting, independent analyses of the released actas, the Carter Center’s final report, and datasets preserved elsewhere.
The lasting significance of resultadospresidencialesvenezuela2024.com is therefore less about the website’s current availability and more about what it represented: an attempt to make thousands of polling-table records publicly inspectable during a contested election. Anyone researching the 2024 Venezuelan presidential vote should distinguish the portal’s opposition provenance, the independently reviewed tally sheets, the CNE’s official announcements, and the later institutional rulings rather than treating any one of those sources as interchangeable.
