Venezuelans from all walks of life made long lines to participate in the plebiscite held in four Dominican polling : in Santo Domingo’s Colonial City and other parts of the country.
“The people decide!” Was the slogan pasted on the ballot boxes backed by the Venezuelan Liberator movement.
Polling in the Colonial City began 8am with three tables and lasted throughout the afternoon, as more Venezuelans voted than expected.
