On October 25, the date of the second round of the 2026 elections, the electronic urn will have fewer voting options than in the first round. The combination of positions and consultations varies by state or municipality. In some places, the elector will vote only for President of the Republic; in others, also for governor.
In order to vote in the second round, the voter follows the same rules observed in the first stage: it is necessary to have in hand original document with photo, in addition to leaving the cell phone with the messiah before going to the voting booth in its zone and electoral section.
Less options in the urn
In the second round, the urn will display fewer posts compared to the first round. The source did not detail how many positions will be available in each locality, but confirmed that the vote for president of the Republic will take place throughout the country. The elector will enter two numbers for that position.
In municipalities where there is no second round for governor, supplementary election for mayor or plebiscite, the electorate will vote only for president. In these cases, the vote will be faster, with only one typing step.
Governor in six states
There will also be a vote for the choice of governor in Acre, Amazonas, the Federal District, Rio Grande do Norte, Espírito Santo and Tocantins. In those states, the ballot box will first display the vote for governor and then for president. For each position, the person will type two numbers, in this order: governor and president.
The order of display in the ballot box was set by Justiça Eleitoral to facilitate voting. The voter must be careful about the sequence to avoid mistakes. After entering the numbers of the governor, the ballot box will show the photo and the name of the candidate; then the voter confirms and passes to the position of president.
Rules for voting
The rules for the second round are the same as for the first round. The voter must present original document with photo, such as RG, CNH, passport or work card. The title of elector is not compulsory, but it helps to locate the electoral section.
The use of mobile phones in the voting booth is prohibited. The device must be delivered to the messiah before the voter goes to the ballot box. The measure aims to ensure the secrecy of the vote and avoid photographic records or filming.
Those who did not vote in the first round can vote in the second, provided that they are in a regular situation with the Justiça Eleitoral. The source did not specify time limits for justification or regularization.
How to consult polling place
The voter can consult the time and place of voting through the Elector's Guide, available on the official channels of Justiça Eleitoral. The consultation can be made through the website of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) or through the e-Title application.
It is recommended to check the electoral section in advance, as some locations may have changed since the first round. The source did not detail whether there will be address changes, but advises the voter to confirm the information.
Electronic urn completes 30 years
The electronic urn turns 30 in 2026, as recorded by the TV Globo. The equipment was introduced in the Brazilian elections in 1996 and has since gone through technological updates. The source did not detail the expected changes to the current model.
The use of the electronic urn speeds up counting and reduces manual counting errors. In the second round, the vote follows the same system, with typing of the numbers and confirmation on the screen.
For the voter, the process is simple: enter the numbers, check the photo and the candidate's name, and press the confirm key. In case of error, it is possible to correct before confirmation.
What to Expect on October 25
On October 25, voters must attend the electoral sections at the time established by Justiça Eleitoral, usually from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Brasilia time. The source did not detail whether there will be extended hours in any state.
After the end of the vote, the counting begins immediately. The results are released by TSE in real time, through the official website and applications. The expectation is that the totalization will be rapid, due to the fewer positions in dispute.
The voter must be attentive to the orientations of the messians and respect the queues, keeping distance if necessary. The source did not mention specific health protocols for this election.
The importance of the second round
The second round defines the candidates elected for president and, in some states, governor. It is the final stage of the 2026 electoral process. Voting is compulsory for those over 18 and optional for young people aged 16 and 17, over 70 and illiterate.
Participation in the second round is essential for the consolidation of democracy. Each vote contributes to the choice of the representatives who will lead the country and the states in the coming years.
For more information, voters can access the Electoral Guide on the TSE portal or search the electoral register of their city. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor the elections and bring updates as new information is released.
