Venezuela Voting for President

Sunday sees Venezuelans out to vote, in what is considered the biggest challenge to thirteen year President Hugo Chavez.

This election will set the presidency through 2019.

Facing the socialist Chavez is centrist Henrique Capriles, who seeks to stop the nationalization of industries, and the opening of free markets.

On Saturday, Venezuelans went through the process of getting their National IDs, which are required for voting.

The country also saw one of it's biggest grocery buying days, as many stocked up on basic foods, fearing how Chavez could react to losing the election.
