The electoral zone formed by Taguatinga and Águas Claras is the one with the largest number of voters: 184,227. However, when the areas that cover Ceilândia – South and North – are added together, we find the region with the largest electorate, 432 thousand.

At the other end, in last place, is Cruzeiro Novo, with "only" 83,326 electoral registrations.

For this number of voters, the Regional Electoral Court (TRE) provides 7,507 electronic voting machines for voting in the Federal District.

The preparation of all of them – receiving information, checking, loading and sealing – was completed on Wednesday (30).

The deadline for registering candidacies for this year's elections ended in August. In total, the DF received 640 applications:

10 registration requests for governor and vice-governor, corresponding to 20 candidacies;

12 for the Senate, which, considering the candidates and their two substitutes, totals 36 records;

164 requests for federal deputy;

420 for district deputy.

However, some of these requests were rejected or considered unsuitable. Among them, that of José Roberto Arruda (PSD) to the DF government, according to the decision of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
