National Driving License (CNH)
Physical work card
Professional license issued by class council
Passport
e-Título (as long as the application presents the voter’s photo)
The paper voter registration card does not replace an official document with a photo and is not necessary to vote.

How to check the polling place?
Voters can check their voting location via the website of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), the Regional Electoral Court of Paraíba (TRE-PB) or the e-Título application.
On the TSE website, queries can be made using the voter's name or the title number in the "Self-Service" tab. To perform the search, you must provide your full name, date of birth and mother's name.
On the TRE-PB website, voters must access the "Electoral Services" area and select the option "Electoral status, title and voting location". The query can be made by name, title number or CPF, in addition to the date of birth and mother's name.
Voters can also check their voting location via e-Título. To do this, simply access the application and check the electoral data. In the "Where to vote" tab, the system informs the address of the polling place, the zone and the polling station.
Voters can also ask questions through the TRE-PB Voter Assistance Service (SAE), available via phone call or WhatsApp on (83) 3512-1500.
The service provides guidance on electoral status, voting location, necessary documents, justification, biometrics, among other questions. The service is open from 8am to 7pm on weekdays and, on the day of the 1st shift, October 4th, it will be open from 8am to 6pm.
e-Título can be downloaded on voting day
In the 2026 Elections, the e-Título can be downloaded and accessed for the first time even on voting day, both in the first and second rounds. The change was announced by the TSE on September 24th.
In previous elections, the download and first access to the application were interrupted on voting day as a preventive measure to avoid system overload. For this year, the TSE reported that it had adopted measures to expand the platform's capacity.
Despite this, the Electoral Court recommends that voters download the application and activate it in advance. This way, it is also possible to check electoral data and the voting location in advance.
The first round of the 2026 Elections takes place on October 4th. The second round, where available, will be held on October 25th.
What is prohibited?
It is not permitted to enter the voting booth with a cell phone, camera, video camera or any equipment that allows you to record your vote.
The voter must leave the device with the vote receiving table before going to the ballot box, following the instructions of the poll workers. Anyone who refuses to hand over the device will not be able to vote. The measure seeks to preserve the secrecy of the vote and prevent proof of the choice.
