Electoral process in Brazil

Brazil’s electoral process involves citizens casting votes to elect authorities at various levels, such as the president, governors, mayors, and legislators. Voting is mandatory for citizens aged 18 to 70, using electronic voting machines that ensure security and quick results. Elections occur every four years, with the president elected via a two-round system if no candidate secures over 50% in the first round. Political parties prepare candidates, and voting results are tallied transparently and supervised by electoral authorities. Throughout, the process emphasizes legality, transparency, and citizen participation to uphold democratic legitimacy.
