Venezuelan government, allies and other groups propose more than 20 dates for presidential election

Venezuela's government, its allies and other groups on Wednesday announced a proposal on when to hold this year's presidential election, suggesting more than 20 potential dates ranging from as soon as the last week of March through early December. The proposal will be presented over the next few days to Venezuela's ruling party-loyal National Electoral Council, whose members will choose the date. Should they pick a date before July 1, the government would be in violation of an agreement it signed in October with a faction of the opposition that called for the vote to take place in the second half of the year.
