Voters in Varginha, Passos and Poços de Caldas need to pay attention to the voting locations for the first round of elections, this Sunday (4). In some regions, sections were moved to other buildings; in others, there was only a change in the name of the institution where the voter must vote.
The changes were made by the Electoral Court for different reasons, including accessibility issues, works and the need for larger spaces to receive voters. The recommendation is to check the e-Título before leaving home to confirm the updated address.

In Passos, voters who voted at the Tancredo Neves State School will now have to vote at the Federal Institute of Southern Minas (IFSULDEMINAS), at Rua da Penha, 209, in the same neighborhood.
According to the head of the Passos electoral registry, Alexandre Araújo, the change occurred because the school's 17 voting stations were on the upper floor, with access by stairs. With the transfer, more than 2,300 voters will vote in a building with an accessible structure.
There was also a change for those who voted for APAI. Voters were transferred to the Neca Quirino State School, at Avenida Dr. Breno Soares Maia, 681, in the Belo Horizonte neighborhood. In this case, according to the registry office, the change occurred due to the increase in the number of voters and the narrow corridors of the old location.
The Electoral Court informed that banners will be placed in old and new locations to guide voters on voting day.

In Poços de Caldas, a city with more than 122 thousand voters, there were changes in the two electoral zones.
In Electoral Zone 350, those who voted for Uninter, on Rua Correia Neto, in the Center, return to vote at Colégio Pio XII, on Rua 15 de Novembro, 74. According to the head of the electoral registry, Antônio Carlos de Souza Pereira, the change occurs because the works at the school, which had caused the temporary transfer of sections, have been completed.
In Electoral Zone 222, there were changes in the name of two institutions, but without changing the address.
The location that was previously identified as Faculdade Pitágoras now appears as Colégio SESI, at Avenida João Pinheiro, 1,046. The former Colégio Poliedro is now identified as Escola Rapidez, at Praça Getúlio Vargas, 4, in the Center.

How to check your voting location
The Electoral Court advises that voters consult the e-Título before leaving home. The application informs you of the voting location and allows you to view the location.
It is also possible to consult the information on the website of the Regional Electoral Court (TRE) or by calling 148, the voter assistance service.
On voting day, voters must bring an official document with a photo, such as ID, driver's license or professional card. The e-Title with photo can also be used by those who completed the biometric registration.
Voter registration cards without a photo and birth or marriage certificates are not accepted as identification documents to vote.
The Electoral Court also advises that voters take the so-called 'sticker' with the candidates' numbers. It can be printed and taken to the voting booth. The cell phone, however, cannot be taken into the cabin.
