Three electronic voting machines needed to be replaced in Franca (SP) during voting this Sunday (4), out of a total of almost 800 in the city, according to the head of the registry office of the 46th Electoral Zone, Marcelo Queiroz. "The polls worked very well and the poll workers also worked very well," he said.
After the voting ended, logistical support teams took the media with the votes to the registry office on Rua Tomás Gonzaga, where three electoral zones operate. From there, the electoral board transmits the votes of the seven cities served by these zones to the São Paulo Regional Electoral Court (TRE-SP).
RIBEIRÃO PRETO - The process of counting and totaling votes in the city continues in progress at the electoral registry. Judge Guilherme Marconi, responsible for the 305th Electoral Zone, made a positive assessment of the vote.
Electoral zone 305 was the first to send media to the registry office to count the votes. There were no errors, according to the judge.
