Voters could be seen waiting in the queue while adhering to coronavirus prevention measures, including the wearing of face masks and maintaining a safe distance from others.
"The country must stabilise. And part of that stabilisation is to control the economy, and depolarise the country. The main thing is to depolarise the country, here there cannot be two blocks, which are supposedly opposite," said one voter.
Opposition leader, and disputed National Assembly head Juan Guaido, who has been recognised as Venezuela's interim president by around 60 countries, including the US and many European states, has lead calls from the opposition to boycott the election, which he has dubbed a 'fraud.'
President Nicolas Maduro and his ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) look set to win back the National Assembly, the last opposition controlled institution in the country, amid the boycott.
