The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Minister Edson Fachin, sent today (8) to the Minister of Defense, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira, a letter with the technical answers to the questions raised by the Armed Forces team that was assigned to monitor supervision of the electoral process. 
In the document, Fachin stated that there is no normative provision for the written record of some information requested by the team, such as the list of services used to receive the ballot box, libraries installed on the server and cryptographic summaries and interpreters (Java, PPytohon, PHP ).
“In this vein, to ensure faithful compliance with the rule, the TSE has granted access to its facilities for inspection of the source code of the programs to be used in the 2022 elections, since October 2021, making wide dissemination of its repeated transparency initiatives”, says the letter.
Regarding access to information from previous elections, the president said that the deadline for requesting the data has already passed, according to the rules valid from last year.
“The entities inspecting the electoral process, under the terms of Resolution no. 23,673, of 2021, do not have powers of analysis and supervision of past elections, not fulfilling the role of external control of the TSE”, said the court.
