Brazilian voter accessibility initiatives for 2026 elections

Overview

Municipalities in Brazil are implementing the ‘Seu Voto Importa’ program to enhance voter accessibility for the 2026 elections.

In Palmas, the Regional Electoral Court of Tocantins (TRE-TO) and the City Hall signed a cooperation agreement to provide free transportation for voters with disabilities, reduced mobility, or those living in rural areas at least two kilometers from polling stations. This initiative aligns with Brazilian law and Supreme Federal Court mandates requiring free public transport on election days to ensure citizens in remote or indigenous communities can vote.

Similarly, Atibaia has partnered with the Electoral Justice system to offer specialized door-to-door transportation. This service is available to voters with disabilities, indigenous populations, and quilombola communities. The program allows for an accompanying person if necessary and includes specific deadlines for requesting transport for both the first and potential second rounds of voting.
