Nordeste registrou o maior crescimento do eleitorado entre 2022 e 2026, enquanto o Sudeste perdeu eleitores.

Overview

  • The Tribunal Superior Eleitoral published the official 2026 electoral roll on Monday, July 20, listing 158,745,463 registered voters, an increase of about 2.29 million (1.46%) from 2022.
  • The electorate is aging with 23.6% of voters aged 60 or older (≈37.5 million) while the number of voters 18 or younger fell by roughly 606,468 to 3,571,159, changing turnout patterns election officials must plan for.
  • Regional shifts concentrated growth in the North and Northeast while the Southeast was the only region to shrink, losing about 378,090 voters and reducing its share of the national electorate.
  • The number of Brazilians registered abroad jumped to 918,876, a rise of about 31.8%, with Lisbon the largest overseas post at 78,833 voters and implications for a closely contested presidential race.
  • The TSE’s improved collection of self-declared race and color produced a more complete, more diverse register and officials will use the new state and city totals to allocate polling stations, voting machines and teams for the October 4 first round and potential October 25 runoff.
