In late July 2026 a Tocantins court annulled the public selection process for Nova Olinda after the Ministry Public identified serious procedural flaws, ordering a new contest within three months and refunding registration fees.

A week later, the same public prosecutor secured another ruling, this time compelling the Alvorada City Council to conduct a public competitive exam to fill permanent positions. The decision set a 210‑day deadline for the full hiring process, required a staff‑attendance control system, and imposed daily fines for non‑compliance. Both rulings reflect a broader judicial effort in Tocantins to enforce proper hiring procedures and constitutional staffing requirements for municipal public services.
