Corina Yoris, 80, is unable to register for Venezuela's presidential election in July.
Venezuela's main opposition coalition says its candidate has been blocked from July's presidential election.
The opposition Unitary Platform (PUD) said it was unable to access the electoral council website to register its candidate, 80-year-old Corina Yoris.
It is the latest setback for the PUD, whose leader, María Corina Machado, has been barred from running for office.
Polls have suggested that if the election was free and fair, Ms. Machado could beat President Nicolás Maduro.
Ms. Machado, 56, made headlines in October when the notoriously divided opposition united behind her. She received more than 90 per cent of votes in a primary election organised by the opposition.
The primary was denounced by the government of President Maduro as illegitimate and Ms. Machado and members of her Vente Venezuela party have been targeted by the authorities since her overwhelming win.
