Why It Matters

In 2022, the PRF carried out raids that made it difficult for voters to access voting locations, resulting in the arrest of the then head of the corporation, Silvinei Vasques.

The president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), Kassio Nunes Marques, must visit the Integrated National Command and Control Center from where the PRF (Federal Highway Police) monitors events during this Sunday's election (4).

The minister wants to show a new image of unity between institutions after the episodes recorded in 2022.

In the last presidential contest, still under Jair Bolsonaro's government, the PRF carried out checkpoints on highways, mainly in the Northeast region, and made it difficult for voters to reach voting locations.

Later, the then head of the corporation Silvinei Vasques was arrested on suspicion of trying to interfere in the election in PT electoral strongholds.

This time, the idea is to show that the court closely monitors the electoral process and that, unlike the last elections, there is a partnership that will guarantee the free exercise of voting.

Nunes Marques is expected to visit the location in the morning, after voting, and has told assistants that he wants to "change the photograph".

This year, the bodies signed an agreement that guarantees the movement of voters on voting days and provides that inspection actions cannot be obstacles to movement.
