Voters in the Federal District will be able to use the Metro, buses and VLT for free during the first round of elections, this Sunday (4).

The government also ordered an increase in the circulation of vehicles – which must adopt a working day schedule, even on a Sunday, to guarantee voters' access to the electronic ballot box.

🔍 A rule from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), published in February this year, provides that public transport on voting days has a "frequency compatible with that practiced on business days".

Check out the changes:

For buses, the table will be working days. The exception will be on the lines that serve the Esplanada dos Ministérios, the Industry and Supply Sector (SIA) and the Northern Storage and Supply Sector (SAAN), which continue with the regular Sunday schedule. These areas do not have polling places.

On the subway, stations open an hour earlier, at 6 am. Closing is scheduled for 9:30 pm, hours after voting ends. Train circulation will also follow a working day schedule.

For voters in rural areas, TRE-DF will provide free transport. Check the schedules and routes by voting zones on the website.

👉 The determinations will also be valid for October 25th, if there is a second round.
