Voters report experiences at the polls and PF arrests five in Porto Velho

Mayara Maíra Lanzoni said that, for the first time, she left to vote in the last minutes of voting in Porto Velho to avoid queues. According to her, the experience was positive and there was no waiting when she arrived at the location.

"I always came at the first time and it was always very busy. So, this year, it was the first time I came at the end, to do a test, and I thought it was much better", he said.

Mayara stated that she calculated the travel time and considered the possibility of standing in line before leaving home. She said she was aware of the schedule and had no difficulty arriving on time.

For the next elections, she stated that she intends to continue avoiding busy times, but that she will arrive a little earlier.
