According to the TRE-SC bulletin released at 3pm, at least 128 voting locations were without electricity at some point. The situation did not impact the progress of the election, as the electronic voting machines have a battery with sufficient autonomy for the entire period.
A group of 101 cyclists from Projeto Pedal Cidadão left the headquarters of the Regional Electoral Court (TRE), in Florianópolis, to collect voting media in 50 locations in the central and continental regions of the city. On the back of each cyclist's identification plate, there is information about the destination polling station and the name of the delegate responsible for delivering the devices. Collection starts at 5pm, right after voting closes
With two hours left until voting ends, the Santa Catarina Military Police (PMSC) has already recorded 122 incidents related to the electoral process across the state.
Among the records, incidents related to the dissemination of electoral propaganda, exit polls and voter recruitment, irregular electoral propaganda and situations involving campaign material on public roads stand out.
