Why It Matters
The integrity test is a standard procedure of the Brazilian Electoral Court to audit the functioning of electronic voting machines.
The Regional Electoral Court of Maranhão (TRE-MA) drew, this Saturday (3), the electronic ballot boxes that will be subjected to integrity and authenticity tests of the electoral systems during the first round of the 2026 Elections. At the same time, the ballot boxes that will be used in voting began to be transported to voting locations across the state.
There is also the Integrity Test with Biometrics, carried out within the voting location itself. In this procedure, voters and volunteer voters use biometrics to release the ballot box that will be submitted for audit. The votes are then entered into the equipment to verify the system.
