This is because, this year, the municipality expects to exceed 200 thousand voters. To close this account, there are 10 thousand voters left who have not yet made transfers of the new title. If this happens, São José will be on the same level as Joinville, Florianópolis and Blumenau, which could have a possible second round in the election to choose a mayor.

She points out, however, that this number fluctuates since, in the same way that people transfer their title to São José, there are those who leave the city to vote in other cities or states.

— So we will only really know after May 8th, when the electoral registration closes, that, according to the TSE resolution, there is also online service. After all these negotiations and checks, we will really be able to say whether or not the municipality will have a second round — he explains.

In-person and online service and schedules

It is worth highlighting that, for those who already have biometrics registered, the regularization process can be done by TRE website.
