Voters leave it until the last day of the deadline and TRE-AC service must continue until the early hours of this Thursday (9) | Acre

Brazilians have a reputation for leaving everything until the last minute and regularizing their voter registration is no different either. In Acre, voters left it until the last day of the deadline to regularize the title and, therefore, the service at the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-AC) task force will last until the early hours of this Thursday (9).

Password distribution at Ginásio Sesc Bosque ended at 5pm, but hundreds of people are still waiting to be served. The action is expected to end around 2am.

The deadline to regularize the voter registration card ended this Wednesday (8). Voters who have any outstanding issues and have not resolved the situation will be left without voting in the 2024 Municipal Elections.

TRE-AC set up a structure at the Sesc Gymnasium to assist those who needed to obtain their first title, pay a fine, transfer, request a second copy of the document or update their registration.

The collective effort started last Wednesday (1st) with service from 8am to 5pm. Until this Tuesday (7), the teams served almost 4 thousand people. To find out if there is anything pending on your voter registration card, simply access the TRE-AC website.

To the This year’s elections are scheduled for October 6th. A possible second round is scheduled for the 27th of the same month, in cities with more than 200 thousand voters. Mayors and councilors from more than 5,500 municipalities across the country will be chosen. In Acre, around 590 thousand voters are eligible to vote.

In municipal elections, there is no voting in transit. In other words, anyone who is in a city other than their electoral domicile cannot participate in the vote and will have to justify their absence. This procedure can be done via e-Título, app of the Electoral Court, via the TSE website or at electoral offices.

Voters who do not regularize their titles will have difficulties with other documents and day-to-day public services. They cannot, for example:

• Obtain documents such as passport, identity card; in the case of passports, the prohibition does not apply to Brazilians who live abroad and need the document to return to the country;
• Enter a public university or renew your enrollment in a higher education institution;
• Take on commissioned or permanent positions (by passing a public competition);
• Obtain a loan from public institutions.

According to legislation, anyone who does not vote in three consecutive elections, does not pay the fine for absence or does not justify it will have their title canceled.

To check whether the voter registration is in order or to change personal data, the voter does not even need to leave home, in most cases. The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) page offers services. Between them:

• Monitor the request for a new document or regularization;
• Update registration data and transfer the title to another municipality;
• Include gender identity and social name;
• Consult voting locations and the voter registration number, in addition to printing the document;

If it is necessary to resolve the issue in person, the system issues an alert and indicates the appropriate electoral registry for the procedure.

The Electoral Court warns that the request made over the internet, in itself, does not resolve the pending issues. It is necessary to present the required documents so that the information can be effectively analyzed and the issues can be resolved

Those who are voting for the first time in this year’s elections can also request the document. This group includes young people between 16 and 18 years old (optional voting) and over 18 years old (mandatory voting).

It is possible to obtain the document from the age of 15. The vote, however, can only be exercised if the person is 16 years old. For the first title, the young person must go to the electoral registry to collect biometrics.
