Acre has 614,375 voters eligible for the first round of elections this Sunday

Acre has 614,375 voters eligible to go to the polls to choose president, governor, senators and federal and state deputies, according to information released by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). The first round of elections takes place this Sunday (4) and takes place from 6 am to 3 pm across the state.

Voters need to pay attention to their voting times to avoid delays. Voting time in elections is standardized throughout Brazil and lasts 9 hours, in addition to simultaneous beginning and end. However, due to time zone differences, Acre voters will schedule a different time from the rest of the country for the election.

This is because the state has two hours less time than Brasília. Polling stations in Acre will open at 6am and close at 3pm, while in the Brazilian capital the opening hours are 8am to 5pm.

📆 The elections are scheduled for October 4th, with a possible second round on the 25th of the same month, in cities with more than 200 thousand registered voters. This year, Acreans will go to the polls to choose president of the Republic, governors, federal and state deputies and senators.

To find out which location they should go to vote, voters must do a search on the TSE website and click on the "Electoral Services" menu in the top bar of the page.

Then, access "Voting location/electoral zones" and then see where to vote. Fill in the fields with your name or voter registration number or CPF, date of birth, mother's name and click "Enter"

The voter registration card is not the only document that allows voters to choose their candidates. According to TSE, if you do not have your title in hand, you can vote with a document that has a photo.

If the voter needs to consult the title number, it is necessary to know the voter's full name, date of birth and mother's name. With the information in hand, simply access the TSE website.

The Electoral Court accepts the following documents at the time of voting:

Identity card (RG);

National Driving License (CNH);

Passport;

Physical work card;

Professional license recognized by law;

e-Título, as long as it has a photograph.

Birth or marriage certificates are not valid as proof of identity when voting.

The printed voter registration card is not mandatory and, alone, does not replace the official photo ID. Those who prefer can consult the voting location and other information through the e-Título application.

It is important to check in advance whether the application presents the voter's photograph. If you do not have a photo, you will need to bring another official document with an image.
