Elections 2026: Paraná votes this Sunday for five positions

The first round of the 2026 elections takes place on Sunday (4). Voters of the Paraná will choose candidates for federal deputy, state deputy, two seats for the Senate, governor and president. The vote will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Brasília time.

To vote, it is not necessary to present the title of voter: an official document with a photo is sufficient. The measure simplifies the process and reduces the chances that the voter will be prevented from voting for forgetting the title. Documents such as identity card, driver's license, passport or work permit are accepted.

Five choices in one go to the polls

In this election, the electorate of Paraná will have to decide five votes. The order of voting in the electronic ballot box will be: federal deputy, state deputy, senator (first seat), senator (second seat), governor and president. Since there are two vacancies for the Senate in dispute, the voter will vote twice for the position, and may choose different candidates in each.

It is important that the voter is attentive to the sequence so as not to annul votes by mistake. The source did not detail whether there will be official electoral glue, but it is allowed to take a personal note with the numbers of the candidates. The recommendation is to prepare the glue at home, calmly, to speed up the vote.

Unified time by country

Voting throughout Brazil will follow Brasilia time, from 8 am to 5 pm. In the Paraná, which is in the time zone of Brasilia, there will be no difference. This means that the polling stations will open and close at the same local time. The source did not detail whether there will be special hours for voters with disabilities or reduced mobility, but the law guarantees priority care.

Those who are in line until 5 p.m. can vote, even if the time is extended. The Justiça Eleitoral usually distributes passwords to organize the flow. The orientation is to check the voting place in advance, as some sections may have changed their address.

Document with photo is enough

To vote, it is not necessary to present the title of voter: an official document with a photo is sufficient. The rule applies to all voters, including those with irregular titles. The document must be in good condition and with a photo that allows identification. Authenticated copies or official digital documents, such as the e-Title with photo, are also accepted.

If the voter does not have a photo ID, they may not be able to vote, as biometric identification may not be available in all sections. The source did not detail whether there would be contingency for these cases. The recommendation is to bring a physical document, even if it has the e-Title, to avoid unforeseen events.

Regional and national impact

The elections on Sunday will define the representatives of Paraná in the Chamber of Deputies and the Legislative Assembly, in addition to two senators. The elected governor will run the state for the next four years, and the president will run the country. The election to the Senate is especially relevant, as it renews two-thirds of the Paraná bench.

The result will have direct reflections on state and federal public policies, such as health, education and infrastructure. The source did not detail polls of voting intention, but the expectation is of expressive attendance. Voting is compulsory for those over the age of 18 and optional for young people aged 16 and 17, over 70 and illiterate.

Guidelines for the day of voting

On Sunday, the voter must go to his electoral section with an official document with a photo. The use of mobile phones in the voting booth is prohibited, to ensure the confidentiality of the vote. The device must be delivered to the messiah before voting. The source did not detail whether there will be punishment for those who fail, but the law provides for sanctions.

Election propaganda on the day is also banned, such as ballot boxes and distribution of saints. The voter can express preference silently, wearing shirts or stickers. The Justiça Eleitoral reinforces that complaints can be made by the aplicativo Pardal.

After voting, the proof is issued by the ballot box, but it is not mandatory to keep it. The important thing is to check if the vote was registered. In case of doubt, the messiah can guide. The counting is expected to begin shortly after the polls close, with partial results still on Sunday night.

For more information on voting locations, the voter can consult the Paraná Regional Electoral Court website or the e-Title app. The Boca no Trombone portal will follow the count and bring the results as soon as they are released.
