The renewal of TSJ magistrates is a result of dialogue between the 2015-elected National Assembly and the chavista regime.
Constitutional lawyer Juan Carlos Apitz calls the process a significant opportunity for democratic transition and stresses the need for citizen oversight.
Lawyer Juan Berríos emphasizes the importance of transparency and independence in the selection process to build public trust.
The selection process involves a Postulations Committee, public call for candidates, and a review period, with possible simple majority election if two-thirds majority is not reached.

- If Delcy Rodríguez remains in office beyond May 3, 2025 without a new presidential election, the claim of usurpation is not acted upon. (within 365 days — Official government gazette and electoral announcements)
