TRE-MG changes voting locations for around 14 thousand voters in Montes Claros

Around 14 thousand voters in Montes Claros will have changes to their voting locations this Sunday (4). Those who voted at the Montes Claros City Hall, for example, were transferred to the annex of the Professor Plínio Ribeiro State School, while voters at the former Education Precinct will vote at the CEMEI at Praça dos Jatobás.

"We had several places with changes in their electoral zone and also in the sections. It is important that the voter, when going out to vote, already knows which polling place is. We had significant changes in relation to the Eloy Pereira State School and also in Luzinha Prates, where we had a change in the electoral zone and the respective sections", said the head of the registry office Geraldo Rodrigues de Almeida, in an interview with Inter 1.

To check whether there has been a change in the voting location, the voter can consult the e-Título application, the Electoral Self-Service on the internet or call 148, the Voter Dial.

Escola Secundino Tavares also has changes

The voting location at Escola Estadual Secundino Tavares, in Vila Mauriceia, was also changed after the unit's wall gave way during the storm that hit Montes Claros this Saturday (3).

According to the electoral registry, the sections that would operate at the school will be transferred to another address. The new location had not yet been announced until the publication of this report.
