After the closing of the electoral register for Elections 2022, this Thursday (5), the president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), ministered Edson Fachin, anticipated and celebrated some data on the registration of voters, during a plenary session of the Court.
In the last 31 days, 8,951,527 requests were registered regarding the voter registration card, either in person at the registry offices, through the Elo system, or virtually through the Título Net, informed Fachin. “The Electoral Justice showed all the strength it has in this final stretch of the electoral register for the 2022 Elections, which ended yesterday”, said the minister.
Only on the fourth (4th), the last day before making any request regarding the voter registration card, 1,738,808 requests were answered.
According to the TSE, between January and April of this year the country gained 2,042,817 new voters between 16 and 18 years old, an age group that can but is not required to vote. The number represents an increase of 47.2% compared to the same period in 2018 and 57.4% compared to the first four months of the year in 2014.
The Electoral Justice attributed the result to the youth enlistment campaign promoted this year, which had the support of digital and famous influencers. Young Voters Week was held between March 14th and 18th and resulted in the issuance of 522,471 titles that month.
“We saw, as has not been seen for a long time, a country united for the good and strengthening of democracy. Therefore, I thank everyone, influencer or not, famous or not, Brazilian or not, young or not, who created content on social networks to call everyone’s attention to the regularization of the title”, said Fachin.
Elections 2022 – in which voters vote for president, governor, senator and state and federal deputies – are scheduled for October 2. Possible second round for the positions of president and governor that takes place on October 30th.
