President of TSE will make a statement this Saturday

The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Kassio Nunes Marques, will make a statement on the national radio and television network on Saturday (24.out.2026), on the eve of the second round of elections, scheduled for Sunday (25.out). Speech will last 4 minutes and 27 seconds.

The official communication comes at a time of redoubled attention on the part of Justiça Eleitoral, after criticism on social networks about changes in polling places between the 1st and 2nd rounds. The aim is to guide voters and strengthen confidence in the electoral process.

Guidance for checking voting places

According to the g1 portal, the minister will warn voters about the importance of checking the polling place before leaving the house. The consultation can be made in the e-Title application or on the TSE website, in the Electoral Self-Service menu.

This recommendation gains relevance because, although the majority of voters vote in the same place of the 1st round, some sections have been changed. Pre-checking avoids unnecessary travel and queuing on voting day.

The e-Title app is available free of charge for Android and iOS and allows you to consult the voting place, electoral justification and discharge certificate. The website of TSE also offers the service without registration, simply informing the title number or CPF.

Reduction of changes in relation to 2022

Nunes Marques will also highlight the reduction in the number of changes in polling places compared to the second round of the 2022 elections. In total, there were changes in 100 polling places and 361 polling stations.

This data indicates an effort of the electoral zones to minimize changes and preserve the familiarity of the voter with the place of voting. Compared to previous lawsuits, the amount of adjustments was lower, which tends to reduce confusion.

The source did not detail the exact 2022 numbers, but the mention of the reduction suggests an improvement in logistics planning. Still, any change requires voter attention, especially in large urban centers.

Criticisms in the networks and clarification of the TSE

The Justiça Eleitoral has been the subject of criticism on social media in recent weeks because of changes in voting locations between the first and second rounds. Voters reported surprise when they found that their sections had been transferred.

TSE has clarified that it does not determine or request these changes. The responsibility lies with the electoral zones, which assess the conditions of the polling places. Each zone is autonomous to decide, for example, if a school is under construction or if the space has become inadequate.

This clarification seeks to separate the action of the superior court from local decisions. The TSE acts as a normative and coordination body, while the electoral zones execute the logistics of the elections in each municipality.

Position of the Regional Electoral Courts

On Monday, the presidents of the Regional Electoral Courts said that the changes in the polling places are exceptional. The statement was given in a meeting with the TSE to align the procedures of the 2nd round.

In a joint note sent to Nunes Marques, the courts said the priority is to keep voters at the same addresses between the two stages of voting. The change only occurs when there is reason for force majeure, such as a building ban or lack of security.

This joint position reinforces the commitment to the stability of the process and seeks to reassure the electorate. The note also serves as a response to criticism that has circulated on digital platforms.

What the voter should do

Given this scenario, the practical recommendation is simple: check your polling place in advance. The e-Title app and the TSE website are the official and free channels for this consultation.

Those who have already downloaded the e-Title can access the information even without the internet, because the app saves the voter's data. The site requires connection, but it works in any mobile or computer browser.

If in doubt, the elector can search the electoral register of his city or call the Disque-Elector (number 148, available in some states). The source did not detail the service channels for the Paraná.

Pronunciation as a tool of transparency

The national network pronouncement is an instrument provided for in the electoral legislation for official communications of Justiça Eleitoral. In this case, the president of TSE will use the space to guide and clarify, not for electoral propaganda.

The duration of 4 minutes and 27 seconds is enough to transmit the essential information without fatigue the viewer. The timing of the show was not detailed by the source, but it usually occurs in the early evening, after the news.

For the voter, Nunes Marques’ speech serves as a final reminder before voting Sunday. The expectation is that the message will contribute to reducing abstentions and displacement errors.

The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to follow the development of the 2nd round and will bring updates on the pronouncement and the day of the vote. Stay tuned to our social networks and website for more information.
