TCU will conduct a random check of ballots in more than 4 electronic voting machines.
The country will have 577 ballot boxes available for voting in the 2022 elections, including the TSE's (Superior Electoral Court) technical reserve.
247 - The Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), in partnership with the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), will randomly select 4.161 electronic voting machines in operation on election day to check results against the voting machine reports. The country will have 577.125 voting machines available for the 2022 Elections, including the TSE's technical reserve. The information was published this Friday (16) by Metropolis website.
Auditors from the TCU (Brazilian Federal Court of Accounts) will collect printed copies of the ballot box reports from polling stations and compare the information on the physical document with the data made available by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) online.
Testing the voting machines is a measure that has been discussed between members of the TCU (Federal Court of Accounts) and the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) in a context of coup threats made by Jair Bolsonaro (PL). He made unsubstantiated accusations that the Brazilian electoral system lacks security against fraud and defended the participation of the Armed Forces in the counting of the presidential election results.
