A video is circulating on social media of a woman showing a pack of unfilled "colas" during voting this Sunday (4) Camaçari, in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, and stating that the material was not produced by the Regional Electoral Court of Bahia (TRE-BA). It's #FAKE.

🔴 What’s the video like?

Published this Sunday on Instagram, where it received over 84,000 likes in the first few hours, the video shows a woman with a "party delegate" badge saying: "The Workers' Party is using it to embarrass itself and deliver it to the queue here, look. This isn't from the TRE. The poll workers themselves are delivering it to the door on the instructions of the coordination of the coalition of left-wing parties."

Someone asks the name of the school, and the woman replies: "Escola Maria Quitéria. I just got this one, look." It also says that they are "message workers of section 73, 74 in Camaçari".

The glossary of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) informs: "The party delegate is the person chosen by the party to represent its interests in the Electoral Court".

⚠️ Why is it #FAKE?

A note released late this Sunday afternoon by the TSE has the following title: "It is false that electoral glue distributed in Camaçari (BA) is not from the Electoral Court". The text describes: "The material shown in the video is the official electoral glue made available by TRE-BA itself for the 2026 Elections. Furthermore, it is blank and is distributed in the queue, outside the section and without linking to a specific party. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the distribution."

The statement mentions that TRE-BA itself announced, in September, that it had officially made the electoral cheat sheet available. It could be "filled out in advance by voters and taken on voting day." "The model presented in the official TRE-BA publication is the same one that appears in the video images."

Elsewhere, the TSE recalls that the Court "expressly" recommends the use of glue by voters – among other reasons, because it is not permitted to take cell phones or other electronic devices to the voting booth.

"On the Polling Station Channel, when advising on the voting procedure, the court informs that 'the use of the ballot box to vote is permitted. However, it cannot be filled in inside the polling station'. That is why the polling station, according to the report, distributed the blank ballot box before voters entered the section. The procedure, therefore, is correct, as it facilitates and speeds up voting."
