Mandatory voting

In Brazil, voting and electoral registration are mandatory for literate citizens over 18 and under 70, according to the Federal Constitution.

However, if it is not possible to attend the polls in one or both shifts, it is necessary to justify the absence to the Electoral Court. Remembering that the second shift takes place this Sunday (25), from 8am to 5pm.

How to justify absence

If, on voting day, the voter is outside the city where they vote, it is possible to justify their absence on voting day via the e-Título app or in person at a polling station.

For voters who are in the city where they vote, but for some reason are unable to attend the polls, the justification must be made after the elections.

In this case, it is possible to do it via e-Título, through Electoral Self-Service, on the TSE website, or even by going in person to an electoral registry in the voting municipality.

To do this, it will be necessary to explain the reason for the absence and present a document that proves the reason for not attending the election.

The deadline for justification is 60 days after each shift. In other words, voters who missed the first round have until December 3, 2026 to justify their absence; For those who missed the second round, the deadline is January 8, 2027.

Change of section in Presidente Prudente

In Presidente Prudente, around 3,300 voters from 12 sections (12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 171st, 201st) of the Florivaldo Leal State School will vote at the Unesp Faculty of Science and Technology (FCT), located on Rua Roberto Simonsen, 303, in Jardim das Rosas. Access will be through the student gates, identified as 4 and 5.

The change was announced on October 4, after the school was closed due to structural damage caused by a storm. The building suffered a partial roof collapse after wind gusts of up to 70 km/h hit the city.

The Electoral Court clarified that the changes are exceptions and occur for extraordinary reasons, such as the occurrence of extreme weather situations, problems in the infrastructure of buildings used as voting locations, among others.
