This elections were the first to be held by Venezuela inGuyanese territory that it claims.
The 285 members of the National Assembly were elected using aparallel voting system, with 149 seats elected byclosed listproportional representation (with seats allocated using thed'Hondt method) and 136 seats elected byplurality block voting in 87 constituencies.[3]
The elections were originally set to be held on 27 April. However on 19 February 2025, theNational Electoral Council moved the election date to 25 May, saying that it was needed to "facilitate and promote the participation of different actors" in the electoral process.[1]
Many opposition politicians called for a boycott of the election.Maria Corina Machado said that participating in "a farce imposed byMaduro is to disregard the mandate" given by voters to the opposition following the disputed2024 Venezuelan presidential election.Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who claimed victory in the presidential election, said holding the election was "unviable" and "contradicts the mandate expressed by Venezuelans at the polls" in the previous year.[1] In April 2025, former presidential candidateHenrique Capriles broke with the abstentionist line followed by other parties, includingPrimero Justicia, and registered as a candidate.[4]
TheNational Electoral Council (CNE) said that turnout in the election was at 42.66%. It also said that thePSUV retained its majority in the National Assembly and won 23 of 24 state gubernatorial elections. Henrique Capriles was elected as a deputy on theUn Nuevo Tiempo list.[5]
