May 2000 Venezuela (machine used: ES&S Votronic)
The election had to be postponed because of problems with the electronic voting system.
… in Venezuela, an electronic voting system produced that very same year [2000] what is widely known as the "mega-flop."
The biggest election in Venezuela's history was supposed to take place on May 28, 2000. More than 6,000 public offices were up for grabs, and Chavez, elected in 1998, was seeking re-election.
But two days before the vote, the Supreme Court postponed the election because of problems with computer software needed to tabulate votes and register more than 36,000 candidates. It was humiliating for election officials who had insisted things were going smoothly.
The Omaha, Neb.-based software provider, Election Systems & Software, blamed constant changes by election authorities in posting thousands of candidates.
… the postponement prompted authorities to reject any new deal with ES&S.

Did Chavez know the election would be fixed because that's how he got elected in 1998?
