A declassified CIA report, compiled between 2004 and 2020, reveals significant intelligence concerning the Venezuelan government's capabilities and intentions to manipulate electronic voting systems. The memorandum details the potential for electoral interference, both within Venezuela and abroad.

The intelligence gathered over this period suggests a consistent focus on understanding and documenting the mechanisms through which the government could exert influence over voting outcomes.
