UPDATE 2: see results in this post.
UPDATE 1: voting time has been extended by two hours because, well, people went out to vote in larger numbers than expected. And what does Chaevz think of this? See post above.
-------------------
The opposition is voting in the few districts it chose to hold primaries. To be noted: Caracas district 1 which covers popular districts of Sucre/Catia and El Junquito is also in the voting. There are lines to vote, not huge lines but lines nevertheless. What is important in that district where chavismo is strong is that the mere act of voting risks to brand you as an anti Chavez person, with all the possible consequences that come in a coutnry where the Tascon list still is in use. I write it down as an excellent sign that chavismo fortunes are ebbing that Catia is voting signficantly.
Elsewhere nothing much to report. Thus no election day continuous post as for other elections. Just an update tonight as results come.

1) Comments are moderated except for the first day of the post publication where they will appear immediately. If you comment after the first day it may take up to a day or two for your note to appear.
2) Your post will appear if you follow the following rules. If you wrote in the open window period, I will be ruthless in erasing any comment that do not follow these rules, as well as those who replied to that off rule comment.
3)COMMENT RULES:
Do not be repetitive.
Do not bring grudges and fights from other blogs here (this is the strictest rule).
This is an anti Chavez blog, with 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds over fourteen years and thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post, in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. Though I am not holding my breath.
Of course insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.
