Preparations for the 2026 elections in Goiás have involved the mobilization of 61,204 poll workers by the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-GO). The workforce is predominantly female, comprising 70% of personnel, with 65% of workers having signed up voluntarily.

Subsequent demographic analyses have identified significant discrepancies in voter registration across the state. A comparison between Superior Electoral Court (TSE) data and IBGE population estimates reveals that 89 municipalities—representing 36.2% of the state's cities—have more registered voters than residents. In these towns, which all have fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, there is a combined excess of 42,720 voters. Davinópolis reported the largest proportional gap, with 221 voters for every 100 residents. Experts suggest these imbalances may result from migration patterns, population underreporting, or registration errors, potentially impacting political representation and resource allocation.
