Has the opposition filed a complaint?
 
Was wondering whether it's possible for Maduro to lose and to my surprise that is exactly what polls suggested over a month back

Venezuela’s Election Outcome Isn’t a Done Deal Just Yet

With less than two months before Venezuela’s presidential election, President Nicolas Maduro faces a stark choice. Should he be beaten at the polls, as opinion surveys suggest he will be, Maduro could concede defeat and negotiate a transfer of power with safeguards against legal persecution. Or...
