After the complaints presented by some pre-candidates for free portulation regarding the Electoral Tribunal (TE) system, the vice-president magistrate of the Electoral Tribunal Alfredo Juncá revealed that they eliminated the “proof of life” in video calls to collect signatures in support of pre-candidates for free application, and assured that this process would have created a bottleneck effect in the process of collecting signatures from pre-candidates for free application.
Juncá explained that the proof of life was done through video calls where the system asked the signers to look to the sides, up, blink or other guidelines but people on many occasions did not comply with the request so the call it closed automatically as the system detected that it was not a person but a photograph.
Juncá explained that they debugged this system option at 10:00 p.m. yesterday, Monday, August 15, and that now, as is the case in banking entities, it will be the TE operators who validate the information as data and make sure that, in effect, , whoever wishes to provide the signature is the owner of the identity card.
