Elections 2026: 6 million voters are expected to vote in the 2nd round this Sunday (25) in Pará

This Sunday (25), 6.2 million voters from Pará must go to the polls in the second round of the 2026 Elections to choose the President of the Republic. Polling stations are open from 8am to 5pm across the state, the same time as Brasília. To vote, the voter must present an official document with photo to the poll workers.

In the first round, more than 1 million voters did not go to the polls in the state of Pará. The 5,062,269 who attended chose governor, the two senators and state and federal deputies.

But even voters who did not go to the polls can vote in the second round, even without justifying their absence.

🗳️ There are 22,072 voting stations throughout Pará. Voters need to be aware, as there have been changes at some polling locations. The advice is to check before going to vote if your polling place is among those that have had changes.

To guarantee citizens' participation in the second round, the TRE of Pará reported that it had put together a logistical plan to face the drought in the state, which affects rivers and voter transport. Some indigenous communities faced difficulties voting in the first round and the Court ordered the Union to provide measures.

📦 To distribute the ballot boxes throughout Pará, TRE will mobilize 5,998 vehicles, divided as follows:

4,786 land vehicles, for transport on roads and urban roads;

1,203 vessels, to serve locations with access via rivers;

9 aerial vehicles, for transporting equipment by air.

Due to the drought in Pará, mainly in the West and Southwest, rivers have lower water volumes, which affects the movement of vessels. Therefore, smaller boats must be used, according to TRE, and even animal traction.

"In regions such as Marajó and Lower Amazonas, where river levels have fallen severely and sandbanks have appeared, medium and large navigation has become unfeasible. In these locations, river transport will be carried out by shallower draft boats. Where the rivers have completely dried up, the electronic voting machines and technical teams will arrive by alternative land transport, including animal traction and human effort", informed the TRE.

TRE's logistical operation to distribute the ballot boxes also took into account the geographical characteristics of Pará, which has rural, riverside communities and locations that are difficult to access. TRE did not detail the number of animal-drawn vehicles that can be used.

The structure includes taking ballot boxes to voting locations in areas with different characteristics, in addition to polling stations in urban areas:

There are 58 in indigenous villages

95 in quilombos

944 in riverside locations

and 2,480 in rural areas.
