Brazil's electoral court, the TSE, has reported that 394 voting sections will have different locations for the runoff on Sunday, October 25 compared to the first round. Approximately 122,900 voters are affected by this change. The final count is lower than the 5,822 changes observed in 2022, but it is still significant for those planning to vote or following the turnout.
Polling hours remain the same, opening at 8 a.m. in Brasília (7 a.m. ET) and closing at 5 p.m. (4 p.m. ET). As of Saturday, 394 sections had changed location, up from 362 in an earlier update. Pará, Minas Gerais, Ceará, and Piauí have the most relocated sections, while the Northeast, North, and Southeast regions each have a different number of changed sections.
Regional electoral courts in Brazil provide this change only when absolutely necessary due to extraordinary reasons such as extreme weather, building problems, or public safety concerns.
