CARACAS, Nov 22 (CNN): Nearly 17 million Venezuelans are eligible to vote in about 600 races for governors, mayors and legislators. But President Hugo Chavez has made it clear the election is really all about one person not on any ballot -- himself.
Venezuela President Hugo Chavez has a lot riding on Sunday's elections.
Sunday's vote will be the first since Chavez suffered a stinging defeat last year in a constitutional referendum that would have allowed him to run again in 2012. Major losses by his ruling PSUV party Sunday would deeply damage any effort to place the referendum on the ballot again.
