The National Elections Council (CNE) has passed a preliminary electoral registry count, noting that there are 16,948,314 persons eligible to vote in the upcoming November regional elections. The number is further divided into 16,767,569 Venezuelans and 180,715 foreigners. The CNE has opened a timetable for citizens and organizations to question the count. The full and final electoral registry is expected to be published on September 23. An audit is expected between September 9-16. Executive president of the Airlines Association of Venezuela (ALAV), Humberto Figuera has called on the aviation authorities of Venezuela and the United States to resolve the conflict about international airport security based on technical and not political foundations. Figuera says that the investigation of the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) revolves around security against terrorism. The TSA, he points out, has visited 134 countries in the world where US airline companies have direct flights to check security arrangements based on collaboration and reciprocity. Figuera, however, says he does not believe that Venezuelan airports are not complying with security standards and adds that the US organization is not an international authority.
According to a report from the Interior & Justice Ministry (MIJ), crime rate has been reduced 50% in sectors where a new communal prevention plan has been placed in force.

MIJ crime prevention director, Gilmar Cobarrubia Russo says the plan kicked off with a diagnosis undertaken by the government and local communities protecting people vulnerable to crime and articulating practical solutions. Before announcing his retirement, Minister Ramon Rodriguez Chacin revealed that 41 homicides took place in the Metropolitan area last week.

The Venezuelan government has already sent 18 tonnes of emergency aid to Haiti.
