Attention, Brazilians! The deadline to regularize with the Electoral Court ends on May 8th. Although the Federal District does not have municipal elections, voters who are not up to date may have difficulties issuing documents such as passports, enrolling in universities, holding public office or receiving social benefits.
Regularization is also necessary for voters from other states who will vote on October 6 and must be done at the respective electoral court.
Services such as issuance of the first title, regularization of canceled title, updating of personal data and transfer of municipality or voting location can only be requested until that date — when registration closes so that the Electoral Court can organize the election.
“The Federal District does not have municipal elections, but it is essential that people over 18 are regularly before the Electoral Court because they may have some difficulties in civil life. This regularization must be done by May 8, because the registration will only be reopened after the elections, in November”, stated the spokesperson for the Regional Electoral Court of the Federal District (TRE-DF), Fernando Velloso.
In-person service spaces are limited according to the capacity of each electoral office. Therefore, the recommendation is that voters check their situation with the Electoral Court and, if necessary, schedule their appointment.
Currently, there are 2,194,108 voters in regular status in the DF and 226,909 with canceled registration. Abroad, there are 759,624 voters up to date with the Electoral Court and 84,559 with a canceled registration.
See here what to bring on the day of your appointment
a) Official identity document with photo, preferably, or birth or marriage certificate issued in Brazil or registered in a Brazilian diplomatic office and transferred to the civil registry, in accordance with its own legislation (front and back)
b) Proof of residence, which must be in the name of the applicant, the applicant’s parents or the applicant’s spouse (as long as they have the same surname)
– Note: If it is impossible to present proof of residence in their own name or in those listed above, the interested party may present a declaration, under penalty of law, that they do not have the respective proof
c) Proof of debt payment with the Electoral Court (if there is a debt)
– If a fine is paid, proof must be attached to the application in the “Others” option
d) Proof of discharge from military service, for enlistment, if the applicant is male and belongs to the conscript class (requirement for those born between January 1st and December 31st of the year they turn 19 years old)
– Enlistment is mandatory from the age of 18, but young voters aged 16 and 17 can obtain the registration and exercise their right to vote. In addition, young people aged 15 can also enlist and, if they turn 16 by the date of the first round (October 6th), they will be able to vote on the day
Transfer and regularization
Voters who wish to transfer their title, or transfer their voting location within the same city, must, first of all, check their electoral status and remember whether they have biometrics collected in the Electoral Court registry. This query can be made via the website and also on the e-Título application.
Those who do not have biometrics must schedule an appointment at any electoral office in the state to collect biometric data and then request a transfer of municipality or voting location.
It is necessary to present proof of connection with the municipality where the voter wishes to vote, which may be residential, family, professional, community or emotional. Anyone with a canceled title can also regularize their situation online, if they already have biometrics. Otherwise, it is necessary to schedule an in-person appointment.
Updating personal data
Anyone who just wants to update their personal data with the Electoral Court must also first check if they have biometric registration. Voters with biometrics can do this review through online self-service. Those who do not have one must schedule an appointment and attend in person.
As with other services, this in-person service can be provided at any electoral office, regardless of the city where the voter votes. In this data review, voters who have a disability must inform it. This is important for the Electoral Court to inspect and monitor the accessibility of voting locations.
