Ideally, I agree with you. Sadly I don't see how it can happen. The current dictatorship holds a corrupt power over the electoral service and they are not interested in negotiating any internationally backed supervision in elections. They know they'll always win with their BS elections so they continue to dangle it over the Venezuelan opposition's heads to keep buying more time for their regime. It's the reason why they've stayed in power for so long.
That and the huge payouts they offer to the military brass to stay under the dictator's thumb.
So no, sadly I don't see fair elections happening until the regime has been toppled.
