Brazil 2026 election logistical and security preparations

Overview

Municipalities and state governments in Brazil are implementing security and logistical preparations for the 2026 elections.

In Sorocaba, the Municipal Civil Guard is establishing a security strategy alongside the Military Police, Civil Police, and Electoral Justice. This includes deploying personnel to 33 school units to secure electronic voting machines and reorganizing patrol sectors. To facilitate access, Sorocaba is implementing special traffic management, road closures near electoral registries, and zero-fare municipal bus services. Similarly, Olímpia has decreed free municipal public transport for the first round, including special operating hours for eight bus lines.

At the state level, Paraná has consolidated an integrated operation involving the Military and Civil Police, the Fire Department, and the Federal Police to cover all 399 municipalities. The Federal Highway Police (PRF) will enforce traffic restrictions on single-lane federal highways on election Sunday, specifically targeting large vehicles to prevent congestion.

Goiás continues preparations for an integrated security operation across all 246 municipalities. The Regional Electoral Court of Goiás (TRE-GO) has updated voting locations in 86 cities, including Goiânia and Aparecida de Goiânia, to accommodate population growth.

Logistical support has expanded to include the Armed Forces, which are providing aerial transport of voting machines and personnel to isolated indigenous communities in Acre and assisting in processes across 482 municipalities in 12 states. To ensure stability, the National Electric System Operator (ONS) has blocked scheduled maintenance that could impact power supply, while distributors like Energisa and Âmbar Energia have activated contingency plans to maintain electricity for polling stations.
