President of the TSE will make a statement on national television on the eve of the first round

The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), minister Kássio Nunes Marques, is expected to address the moment of political polarization in a speech on national television this Saturday (3), the eve of the first round.

The minister must ask candidates to respect voters' choices, without pressure.

The minister should highlight that the election involves six choices and advise voters to write down the names of the candidates they intend to vote for, to avoid queues at polling stations.

Nunes Marques' electoral domicile is Teresina, in Piauí, his home state. The minister, however, asked for a vote in transit and should vote in Brasília.

What is the voting order at the ballot box?

On Sunday, October 4th, Brazilian voters will make six choices at the polls in the 2026 Elections. Voting will follow this order:

federal deputy (four digits);

state or district deputy, in the case of DF (five digits);

first vacancy for senator (three digits);

second vacancy for senator (three digits);

governor (two digits);

President of the Republic (two digits).

At each step, the voter must check the data that appears on the screen, such as the candidate's photo, name, number and party, before pressing the green “Confirm” key.

⚠ ATTENTION: when voting for the two seats for the Senate, it is necessary to choose different names for both votes to be valid. If the voter repeats and confirms the same candidate in both options, the second vote will be canceled.

Election glue

On election day, voters can take a paper election sticker, with the voting order and the names and numbers of their candidates.

Cell phones cannot be used in the voting booth and must remain in the location indicated by the poll workers while the voter votes.
