A resolution reaffirming the policy of the United States to support a peaceful democratic transition in Venezuela through free and fair elections.

This Senate resolution restates that U.S. policy is to support a peaceful move to democracy in Venezuela through free and fair elections. It urges Venezuela's interim authorities to take immediate steps to hold free, fair, and transparent presidential elections. It calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners in Venezuela, including people detained in connection with the July 2024 election. It also declares that harm to anyone seeking public office, including Maria Corina Machado, would be presumed to involve senior interim officials and would require U.S. action to hold those responsible accountable.
