TSE Allows e‑Título Downloads on Election Day

Overview

• The TSE allowed voters to download and activate the e‑Título on election day, Sunday, Oct. 4, after reinforcing servers to keep the app online for both voting rounds.
• The digital e‑Título counts as an accepted photo ID at polling stations only when it displays the voter’s biometric photo from the electoral register.
• Voters may use their phones to show the e‑Título for identification but must hand devices to the mesário before entering the voting booth or face criminal penalties for violating secrecy rules.
• The updated e‑Título adds real‑time data sync, in‑app payment of electoral debts, issuance of certidões, and allows same‑day absence justification by geolocation with a 60‑day window for post‑vote submissions.
• Official live counts will stream on the TSE’s Resultados app and portal from 17:00 Brasília time after polls close, and the digital changes affect compulsory voters who must justify absence to avoid legal sanctions.
