AI-generated summary
The PEC that provides for the end of the 6x1 work schedule is a proposed amendment to the Constitution that aims to reduce the weekly working hours. The topic has been debated in the National Congress with support from the Lula government and resistance from sectors of the opposition.
Despite having said that he will not vote on the PEC that foresees the end of the 6x1 before the elections, the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (União-AP), does not rule out analyzing the text in plenary between the first and second rounds of the election.
Alcolumbre told allies that he is considering voting on the matter in the meantime, still in October, in light of requests from the Lula government. Ministers will insist on demanding that the PEC be voted on.
Members of the PT campaign say that the project can be used as an asset to guarantee more support for Lula's re-election and see approval as essential.
Putting the matter to a vote does not mean, however, that it will be approved. Opposition senators are discussing the possibility of not providing a quorum to guarantee the approval of the text. As it is a PEC, it depends on the approval of at least 49 of the 81 senators.

The Regional Electoral Court of Ceará (TRE-CE) opened requests for special transport for voters with disabilities or reduced mobility who do not have their own means or adequate access to public transport, aiming to guarantee access to vote in the 2026 elections. Requests can be made until September 14, 2026, via an electronic form or in person at electoral offices, with a response sent by email up to 48 hours before the election. Service depends on the availability of suitable vehicles in each municipality and is linked to the TSE's 'Your Vote Matters' program.

Former banker Daniel Vorcaro, detained, tries to cancel the investigation into the Master case, alleging psychological torture in prison and accuses minister André Mendonça of bias, while maintaining contacts with allies such as deputy Nikolas Ferreira and lawyer Daniel Bialski, linked to figures from Bolsonarism.

Mendonça denies irregularities and states that his departure from the Iter Institute aims to avoid noise, while Fachin seeks a solution through individual conversations with ministers.
