Henrique Capriles presented his request formally on 17 April 2013, with all the corresponding complainte and the petition of the total verification of the acts; the CNE held a meeting for hours the same day until it accepted the verification "in second phase", the 46% of the ballot boxes not randomly audited at first.[12] However, this audit was not supported by Capriles, who argued that itt«should have been carried out along with a review of the voting notebooks»,[13] reason why the process was challenged before the Supreme Tribunal of Justice (TSJ).[14]
