Jimmy Carter played a significant role in the 2004 Venezuelan recall election as part of an international observation team led by the Carter Center. He worked alongside the Organization of American States (OAS) to ensure the referendum, which sought to recall President Hugo Chávez, was conducted fairly. The Carter Center ultimately endorsed the election results, which showed that Chávez had survived the recall with 59% of the vote. Directing his remarks at opposition figures who made claims of 'widespread fraud' in the voting, Carter called on all Venezuelans to 'accept the results and work together for the future.' Carter's involvement underscored his commitment to promoting democracy and transparent electoral processes worldwide.
