Venezuelans are voting in a presidential election that could bring important changes to their country.
It is said to be Venezuela's most important election in a generation.
The opposition is hoping for a landslide victory that could force President Nicolás Maduro to negotiate a transition of power.
The challenge is the biggest that the country's socialist regime has faced in 25 years.
Years of economic collapse and political repression have eroded the socialist revolution launched by the late President Hugo Chavez in 1999.
If Maduro is defeated, will he recognise the results or try to stay in power? And what does the result mean for Venezuela and the South American region?
