According to the court, with the publication of the notice requesting Candidate Registrations on Monday, the 7th, a five-day period was opened for any person, political party, coalition, or the Electoral Public Prosecutor's Office to challenge it in a reasoned petition. Tocantins anticipated the publication of the notice by three days, according to the TSE – the final deadline would have been this Thursday, the 10th.

According to article 38 of Resolution 23.405 of 2014, once the deadline for challenging the decision has passed, the candidate, political party, or coalition will be notified to, within seven days, contest it or comment on the notice of ineligibility, attach documents, indicate a list of witnesses, and request the production of other evidence, including documentary evidence, that may be in the possession of third parties, public agencies, or in judicial or administrative proceedings, except for proceedings that are being conducted under seal.
