Sólo estaban facultados para votar los pobladores de dos pequeñas comunidades venezolanas, ubicadas en el estado Bolívar, limítrofe con Guyana. En esas comunidades estaba previsto que se instalaran 25 mesas electorales para 21.403 electores, informó la autoridad electoral.“Es una elección simbólica que al final del día no termina teniendo consecuencias de hecho, pero posiblemente es un elemento que se suma a los argumentos que el gobierno guyanés utilizará contra el gobierno venezolano y que se suma a las consideraciones que la Corte Internacional de Justicia (CIJ) hará sobre ese caso”, señaló Alarcón.
