Venezuela's National Electoral Council (CNE) will issue the presidential results 2013 at 10:30 p.m. (EDT), according to Globovision. Venezuelans went to the polls Sunday to elect a new president after the passing in March of the late socialist leader Hugo Chavez. An estimated 19 million voters chose between Interim President Nicolas Maduro — Chavez's successor — and Henrique Capriles, the popular governor from the opposition that after losing to Chavez on October 2012 is trying again Sunday as the challenger of Chavista Maduro. The results will be unveiled at any moment.
