Voting for the second round of the 2026 elections takes place this Sunday (25), from 8am to 5pm, throughout the state of São Paulo. More than 34.1 million voters in São Paulo are eligible to participate in the choice of the next president of the Republic, in the dispute between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL).
In the capital and three cities in the interior, 12,110 voters had their voting locations changed in relation to the first round, held on October 4th. The changes affect 39 electoral stations in São Paulo, Presidente Prudente, Ibitinga and São João da Boa Vista.
According to the Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo (TRE-SP), the changes occurred due to damage caused by rain and strong winds, in addition to structural problems and renovations in buildings that housed voting stations.
In other locations, voting will take place at the same addresses as in the first round. The Electoral Court recommends that all voters consult the address, zone and polling station in advance to avoid inconvenience.
Voters who did not attend the first round can vote normally this Sunday. This is because each round is considered an independent election by the Electoral Court.
See below the main guidelines for voting in São Paulo.

What are voting hours in São Paulo?
Voting takes place from 8 am to 5 pm, Brasília time, in all municipalities in São Paulo.
Anyone who is already in line at 5pm will be able to vote normally, even after the scheduled closing date. Poll workers must identify voters who are waiting and distribute tickets.
Anyone arriving after 5pm, however, will not be able to vote.
What documents are needed to vote?
The voter must present an official document with photo. A paper voter registration card is not mandatory.

-Identity card (RG);
National Driving License (CNH);
Work card;
Passport;
Reservist certificate;
Professional category license recognized by law, such as OAB, CRM and CREA.
Expired documents may also be accepted, as long as they allow voter identification.
The e-Título can replace the identity document, as long as it presents the voter's photograph. If the application does not display the photo, it will be necessary to present another official document with a photograph.
Birth and marriage certificates are not accepted as identification documents to vote.
Can anyone who didn't vote in the first round vote in the second?
Yes. Voters who failed to vote in the first round, on October 4th, can normally go to the polls this Sunday (25th), as long as their registration card is in good standing.
The Electoral Court considers each round to be an independent election. Therefore, absence in the first round does not prevent participation in the second.
Voters who were absent on October 4, however, must justify their absence by December 3, 2026.
How to justify absence in the second round?
Voters who are unable to attend the polls must justify their absence to the Electoral Court.
Anyone outside the municipality where they vote will be able to justify themselves on Sunday, via the e-Título app or in person at a polling station.
By e-Title:
1. Open the app.
2. Access "Justification for absence".
3. Select the corresponding shift.
4. Fill in the requested information.
Anyone who is unable to justify it on voting day will have until January 8, 2027 to present their justification for the second round.
After the election, the procedure can be carried out via e-Título, through the TSE's Electoral Self-Service or in person at an electoral registry. In this case, it will be necessary to present documents proving the reason for the absence.
Voters who do not vote or justify their vote may have to pay an electoral fine. Absence without justification in three consecutive elections may lead to the cancellation of the title, if the fines are not paid.
Can you vote in shorts and flip-flops?
It is also permitted to wear t-shirts, stickers, pins and other accessories that express preference for a particular candidate or party, as long as the demonstration is individual and silent.
On the other hand, exit polls, the distribution of campaign material and collective demonstrations in standardized clothing are prohibited.
Voters also cannot enter the voting booth with a cell phone, camera or any other equipment capable of compromising the secrecy of the vote.
What time does the counting of votes start?
Voters will be able to follow the count in real time via g1.
