Key 3 glued to voting machines causes equipment replacement in Caxias do Sul and Candelária

According to electoral judge Luciana Bertoni Tieppo, from the Caxias do Sul District Court, in Serra Gaúcha, a key was pasted in section 451, in the Forqueta neighborhood, in the city of Serra Gaúcha. The changed button was number 3.

According to the Electoral Court, another 7 ballot boxes were replaced in the city for various reasons.

In the morning, a ballot box had to be replaced at a polling station in Candelária after the number "3" button was stuck on, which prevented voters from clicking on the number. The call was made at around 8:30 am by the president of section 33, located at Escola Eveline da Fonseca, in the town of Pinheiro.

The key lock was caused by the alleged use of glue on the equipment, according to the Electoral Court.

According to the Military Brigade, police forces were not called. A contingency urn was taken and used to replace the faulty equipment.
