2024 Municipal Elections: can I vote without biometric registration?

People without biometric registration will be able to vote, only needing to bring an official document with a photo.

However, if there was a call for a voter review, with the aim of collecting biometrics, and the voter did not appear at the registry office, may have the title cancelled. Therefore, it is not possible to vote.

To find out if your voter registration has been cancelled or if you already have your biometrics registered, you must:

• Access the TSE page;
• Click on the “Services” tab; and
• Make the query in “Electoral status”.

If you already have the e-Título application, you can check this information there.

It is important to mention that the polling place can be obtained through the title numberby checking the voting location on the TSE Portal or, even, via e-Título.
