"There is no way to achieve your dreams if you do not participate," said Miranda state governor and candidate for reelection Henrique Capriles, after casting his vote at voting center Santo Tomas de Villanueva school, located in Las Mercedes, east Caracas.

However, he urged people not to vote only in the early hours of the day. "The idea is to have people casting their ballot until voting stations are closed," at 6:00 pm, he said.

At around 1 pm, he estimated turnout in Miranda state at some 30%. "I think this will increase."

"We must all get out and vote today; the future of every state in our country is at stake."

He warned behind closed doors in the midst of the social upheaval occurred during the oil strike in 2002 and 2003. Dissenting Timoteo Zambrano answered back that no other option was available: "The thing is that otherwise, you do not negotiate."
