How we work
Macedonia del Norte publishes public data about Venezuela that institutions leave unexplained. This is what happens to each piece of data before it goes online.
1. Collect
We start from official sources: lists of nominees from the National Assembly, results and registers from the electoral authority (CNE), and the Official Gazette. When institutions do not publish something, such as the 2024 results by polling station, we gather it from tally sheets published by third parties, citizen submissions and counting videos.
2. Verify
We cross-check each person by national ID number against the electoral roll and against the earlier processes we have documented (candidacies, and nominations to the Supreme Court, the Judicial Nominations Committee, Attorney General and Ombudsperson). Community contributions are moderated before they are published. The level of review varies by platform and by material.
We only label someone with a post or a connection when there is a confirmed source.
For the 2024 presidential election, the tally sheets come from the publication by Resultados ConVzla and from citizen submissions, with no coordination with the opposition campaign (Comando Con Venezuela). Videos are approved against public criteria: the count must take place at the polling station and match the tally sheet. In some cases a matching proportion is accepted rather than the exact figure.
3. Publish
Each platform states where its data comes from. Figures on this site are read live from each platform; when they cannot be read, we show the date they were last checked.
Annulled processes
When a process is annulled, as with the May 2026 Judicial Nominations Committee or the June 2026 Supreme Court process, nothing is deleted. The annulled process stays online as a read-only archive at its own address, and the new one is cross-checked against it.
Personal data
What we publish about people, why, and how to ask for a correction is explained in Personal data and ethics.
Independence
Macedonia del Norte has no ties to the electoral authority, the government or any political party. It is built by Giuseppe Gangi, with occasional help from others at specific moments, and funded with his own money and individual donations.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, write to [email protected]. We review it, correct it and record the date of the change.
