On July 28, President Nicolás Maduro will appear over and over again on Venezuela’s presidential ballot.
His challengers, including the leading opposition candidate, are farther down and appear far fewer times.
The ballot features 38 different political parties. They make the election feel legitimate and democratic, even though the electoral process has already been considered far from fair.
Mr. Maduro faces one serious opponent in Edmundo González, who is leading the race with support from more than 50 percent of respondents in several polls. Mr. González appears in a much less prominent location.
The design of the ballot is just one way Mr. Maduro may be trying to tip the scales in his favor.
