MPT is on duty to receive reports of electoral harassment in the interior of SP; check data

The Public Ministry of Labor (MPT) will have in-person assistance on duty this Saturday (24) and Sunday (25), from 8 am to 5 pm, to receive reports of electoral harassment in the workplace during the second round of the 2026 presidential elections.

In the regions of Presidente Prudente (SP), Bauru (SP), São José do Rio Preto (SP), Araçatuba (SP) and Sorocaba (SP), until last Thursday (22), 44 reports of electoral harassment were recorded in 2026.

The mobilization seeks to combat practices by employers that attempt to coerce, induce or embarrass workers in relation to the choice of candidates, in addition to guaranteeing employees' freedom of political conviction.

During the shift, the MPT may work together with other bodies, such as the Public Electoral Ministry and the Labor Court, to request urgent measures, carry out inspections and take measures to stop possible practices of electoral harassment.

In Presidente Prudente (SP), the service will be provided at the agency's unit, located at Avenida Coronel Soares Marcondes, 3.372, in Jardim Bongiovani. Complaints can also be registered through the MPT's electronic channels.
