A partir deste sábado (10), faltando 15 dias para o segundo turno das Eleições 2026, candidatas e candidatos não podem ser presos ou detidos. A determinação faz parte das normas previstas no Código Eleitoral brasileiro para garantir o equilíbrio e a regularidade do processo eleitoral.

De acordo com o Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), a imunidade temporária para quem concorre no segundo turno se estende até 48 horas após o encerramento da votação, marcada para o dia 25 de outubro.

A única exceção é o caso de flagrante delito. Nessa situação, caso ocorra a prisão, a pessoa detida deve ser conduzida imediatamente à presença de um juiz, que avaliará a legalidade da prisão.

🔎Flagrante delito é a situação em que alguém é pego no exato momento em que comete um crime, logo após cometê-lo ou ao ser encontrado com armas e objetos que façam presumir sua autoria.

O Código Eleitoral também estabelece regras para outros atores do processo eleitoral em períodos específicos:

Eleitoras e eleitores: a imunidade contra prisão começa cinco dias antes da votação e vai até 48 horas depois do fim do pleito, salvo em flagrante delito, por força de sentença criminal condenatória por crime inafiançável ou por descumprimento de salvo-conduto emitido pela Justiça Eleitoral.

Mesárias, mesários e fiscais de partido: nos 15 dias anteriores à eleição, no exercício de suas funções, também não podem ser presos ou detidos, a menos que haja flagrante delito.

PT sleeps on time, wakes up late and runs at the last minute

Initial surveys of the campaign for the second round indicate Flávio Bolsonaro's advantage over Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, although the difference is within the margin of error. While the senator celebrates support and momentum, the president faces difficulties in forming alliances and tries to reverse the situation in two weeks, betting on the electorate's fear of a return to Bolsonarism.
