The first round of municipal elections takes place this Sunday (6). If it is not possible to be in the municipality to perform the duty neither in the first nor in the second round, and cannot justify the absence to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), it will be necessary to pay a fine for non-attendance.
After the deadline stipulated by the TSE for justification, which is until December 5th for the first round and until January 7th for the second, the voter must pay a fine in the amount of R$ 3.51 per election.
To consult debts with the Electoral Court and pay off debts, citizens must access the siteenter your personal information and select “Issue GRU” to pay the debt with a bank slip or “Pay” to pay off by making a transfer via Pix or credit card.
“When filling out the service form, the data entered must coincide with that contained in the electoral register. If the system does not recognize the data entered, you must contact electoral zone responsible for the title for clarification”, explains the official TSE website.
It is worth remembering that the bank slip (GRU) with a value of less than R$50.00 must be paid exclusively at Banco do Brasil.
In the case of payment via Pix or credit card, payment is made via PagTesouro, a digital platform for collecting amounts from the National Treasury Single Account managed by the National Treasury Secretariat.
After making the payment, you will need to wait for the Electoral Court to register the payment of the debt on your title. The electoral situation will be regular regarding the debt paid only after this registration in the electoral register.
