National Electoral Council
editNogal was an advisor to the National Electoral Council (CNE)[2] from 2005 to 2012[4] or 2016.[5]
In August 2023,[2] she became one of the five CNE rectors.[1] Nogal and Juan Carlos Delpino Boscán were two opposition representatives out of the five.[5]
According to Armando.info, in August 2024, following the 28 July Venezuelan presidential election, Nogal stopped answering phone calls from leaders of the opposition.[6] El Observador stated that an anonymous source described working meetings of the CNE as having given the impression of having a ratio of four-to-one pro-government-to-opposition members rather than three-to-two. When contacted by Armando.info, Nogal only accepted the publication of two sentences: "I have not abandoned the opposition" ("yo no he abandonado a la oposición") and "I take responsibility for this downpour and will never speak ill of the opposition" ("yo asumo este chaparrón y nunca hablaré mal de la oposición").[5]
