Brazil prepares for 2026 elections with voting machine logistics
Brazil is advancing preparations for the 2026 General Elections. The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is coordinating the preparation of approximately 560,000 electronic voting machines, which are intended to serve more than 158.7 million voters across the country.
Logistical and training operations are underway in several regions. In Mato Grosso, the 1st Electoral Zone has begun training poll workers for Cuiabá and Acorizal, focusing on procedures for table presidents to manage voting sessions effectively. Additionally, specific sections have been designated for transit voting in Cuiabá, Várzea Grande, Rondonópolis, and Sinop to accommodate voters on the move.
In Sergipe, the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-SE) is scheduled to begin the ceremony for loading and sealing voting machines on September 18. This process includes inviting political parties, federations, and the OAB to monitor the integrity of the systems.
Electoral authorities are also providing guidance on voting mechanics, such as the distinction between blank and null votes, and the different rules for majority and proportional systems. Furthermore, deadlines for requesting special transportation for voters with disabilities or reduced mobility are being observed to ensure accessibility during the upcoming electoral cycle.
