Why It Matters
Voting in transit allows voters from other states to vote in Roraima during elections. This year, the service was centralized at the Lobo D’Almada State School, in the center of Boa Vista, with the support of TRE-RR employees relocated from the 1st Electoral Zone Registry Office.
According to Claudia Pereira da Silva, a server at the Regional Electoral Court of Roraima (TRE-RR), voting in transit in the state only took place at the Lobo D’Almada state school, in Centro Boa Vista. She and fellow employee Nara Mesquita were moved from the 1st Electoral Zone Registry Office to help voters from other states who chose to vote in Roraima.
There are four voting stations in transit and six conventional voting stations. The estimate is that around a thousand people voted in the modality.
"As there were votes in transit here, we were moved from the registry office to be able to provide support and help people we don't know, who are from outside, and reduce the flow even more", said Claudia.
Martha Braga, 90 years old, voted even though she no longer had to.
"I'm Brazilian, I have the right to vote and I will never lose that right. I came to throw my pebbles. Wearing a shirt to give more strength, who knows, maybe encourage someone else to vote," he said.
Ana Paula, receptionist, attended the first vote of her 16-year-old son, Ayan Linhares.
"It wasn't something new for me because I followed my mother and grandmother when I was a child. Each person's vote is important, not only for our state, but also for our country", he stated.
Vinicius Barcelos, 48 years old, a public servant, voted at Escola Monteiro Lobato and said that, this year, he did not witness any electoral crimes, unlike other elections.
"Today I didn't see the exit from the polls, but in other years it was busier. Here, in the past, it was dirtier, there was more mobilization, more militancy, but now it seems that everything is sort of defined. The problem is that generally the candidates who commit this crime are already candidates for re-election", he said.
Kelvin Braga, 23 years old, is a cashier. For him, the election campaign period was bad, but he is hopeful for today's result.
"Many good proposals appeared, but the campaign itself was very bad, with many scandals happening in the city. Today is the day to decide and throw the situation to God," he said.
