Elections 2026: how to use e-Título to vote in the 1st round

Voters will be able to use the e-Título to vote this Sunday (4), in the 1st round of the 2026 Elections. The official Electoral Justice application works as a digital version of the voter registration card and brings together other electoral services.

It is also possible to vote without an e-Título, as long as the voter presents an official document with a photo.

For the first time this year, the application can be downloaded and accessed even on voting day. The possibility applies to both the 1st round and the 2nd round, on October 25th.

See below the main questions about the e-Título.

Is it possible to download the e-Título on the Sunday of the election?

Yes. Unlike the initial guidance not to leave the download until the last minute, the TSE informed that the e-Título can be downloaded even on voting day, both in the 1st and 2nd rounds of the 2026 Elections. The Electoral Court also adopted measures to reinforce the stability of the application during the election.

Even so, the recommendation is to download or update the application before leaving home to avoid unforeseen events.

What changed in the e-Título in 2026?

The TSE launched an updated version of the application, with new features and security improvements. Among the new features are the synchronization of information in real time, the payment of electoral debts and the issuance of new certificates.

Anyone who already had the application installed should check if there is an update available in the cell phone store.

How to download and access for the first time?

The e-Título is free and available for Android and iPhone cell phones.

To access the app for the first time:

Download the e-Título from your cell phone’s app store.

Enter the requested data, such as full name, date of birth, CPF or title number and parents' names.

Answer the security questions to confirm your identity.

Create an access password.

Check that the data and electoral information appear correctly.

The data provided must be the same as those registered with the Electoral Court. Differences, including in accents or names, may prevent the document from being validated.

Where to download the e-Título?

The application must only be downloaded from official cell phone stores:

Android: Google Play

iPhone: App Store

It is also possible to access electoral information and services through the official TSE website.

How to update the e-Título?

Anyone who already has the application installed should check if they are using the latest version.

Open your phone's app store.

Search for e-Título.

Check if the “Update” option appears.

Make the update.

Open the app again and check if the data is available.

The TSE recommends that the update be made before voting day.

Is the e-Título valid as a voting document?

Yes, but the application must display the voter's photo.

The e-Título with photograph is accepted as an identification document at the polling station. If the photo is not available in the application, the voter must present another official document with a photo.

The photograph appears to those who completed the biometric registration.

What to do if the e-Título does not have a photo?

In this case, the voter will not be able to use only the e-Título to prove their identity.

You must bring another official document with a photo, such as:

identity card (RG);

national driver's license (CNH);

passport;

work card;

reservist certificate;

professional category card recognized by law.

Documents can be accepted even if they are expired, as long as it is possible to prove the voter's identity.

Is it mandatory to have an e-Título to vote?

No.

The application is optional. Anyone who does not have an e-Título can vote normally by presenting an official document with a photo accepted by the Electoral Court. A printed voter registration card is also not mandatory to vote.

How to check the voting location using e-Título?

The application allows you to consult information such as:

polling place;

address;

electoral zone;

polling station;

electoral situation.

To do this, simply open the e-Título and access the information available on the main screen.

How to justify absence using e-Título?

The application also allows you to present a justification for absence on election day and consult previous justifications. Voters must follow the guidelines and deadlines established by the Electoral Court.

Can a cell phone enter the voting booth?

No.

Voters can take their cell phones to the polling station, even if they are using the e-Título to identify themselves. But, before entering the voting booth, you must turn off the device and leave it in the location indicated by the receiving table.

Cell phones, cameras, camcorders and other equipment that could compromise the secrecy of the vote are prohibited inside the booth, even when turned off.
