Villalobos estimates ten months as the ideal time to organize a presidential election in Venezuela.
He distinguishes between the pre-electoral phase (3-4 months) and the formal electoral calendar (about 6 months).
Key preconditions include an adequate CNE and a proper electoral registry, especially for Venezuelans abroad.
The 2024 election was announced on March 5 and held on July 28, leaving less than five months.

- If the CNE announces a presidential election date with at least ten months between announcement and election day, Villalobos's proposed timeline would be supported. (within 90 days — CNE official announcements)
