What are the elections scheduled for this Sunday, August 7th?
The elections this Sunday will be for a variety of local offices, in particular town and city councils. For the most part these will NOT be elections for mayors or other higher-level positions. The only exceptions to this are a few smaller cities such as Miranda in the state of Carabobo and the special election for the governorship of the state of Amazonas. All told almost 38,575 candidates are vying for 5,399 different positions. Unlike some countries where there are only a handful of parties these candidates belong to 906 different political parties!
