Paulino Neves hosts TSE simulated election for 2026
Voters in Paulino Neves, Maranhão, participated in a simulated election organized by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to prepare for the 2026 General Elections. The exercise involved 1,398 voluntary participants, representing approximately 9.22% of the local electorate.
The simulation tested various components of the electoral process, including electronic voting machines, biometric identification, the e-Título app, and satellite data transmission in remote areas. Results were totaled in 14 minutes, and officials reported no technical or logistical issues.
TSE President Kassio Nunes Marques attended the opening, emphasizing that the integrated test validates the entire electoral ecosystem rather than just isolated tools. The activity also served as training for 96 poll workers, who practiced managing voter flow and accessibility. The simulation in Maranhão, a practice established in 2004, remains a reference for electoral testing in Brazil.
