Aime Clarisa Nogal Méndez or Aime Nogal, officially Acme Clarisa Nogal Méndez,[1] is a Venezuelan lawyer and politician who specialises in electoral processes.[2][3] Nogal was a leader of Un Nuevo Tiempo.[3][4] Nogal became one of the five rectors of the National Electoral Council (CNE) in August 2023.[2][1] She was born in Caracas[4] in 1978 or 1979 (age 45–46).[5]
Education and early career
[edit]Nogal graduated in law, specialising in civil law,[2] and in digital marketing and in search engine optimization at the Central University of Venezuela.[3][when?]
Nogal became a leader of the Venezuelan political party Un Nuevo Tiempo.[3][4]
Nogal provided training and advice to non-governmental organisations about electoral participation, negotiation and confidence-building.[4]
National Electoral Council
[edit]Nogal 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]
