This is the year in which big choices will have to be made, where the representatives for the following positions will be voted:
With this momentous occasion came some penalties for those violating certain rules. This is because electoral coercion aims to ensure greater security so that citizens can exercise their right to vote. So, when you go to vote, be aware of the following attitudes:
Known as “urn mouth”, the act of asking for votes (in person and on social networks) is prohibited, as well as the publication of content aimed at promoting candidates on polling day. This rule applies to politicians and their supporters.
Thus, the person who fails to comply with this rule can receive up to one year of detention, in addition to paying a fine. Under the law, voters can express their political preferences by wearing T-shirts supporting specific candidates, using pins and flags (silent manners).
It is normal, nowadays, for people to register everything on their social networks, however, inside the voting booth, this action is not allowed. The suggestion is to do this only after you have registered your vote and outside the ballot box.
According to the Electoral Law (9.504/97), items such as video cameras, cameras and cell phones are prohibited from being taken to polling places. The idea is to keep votes private and avoid voting for financial gain and other illegal schemes.
To encourage the reporting of electoral crimes by all citizens, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) offers the Pardal application, which is available for free download in virtual stores (Android and iOS).
As a result, complaints made by citizens will be analyzed by the Public Prosecutor's Office and then forwarded to the Electoral Justice Department for a judgment.
