[00:00:48] Hello, good morning to you. It's 10 o'clock [00:00:51] now and the ballot boxes have been receiving votes since 8 o'clock [00:00:55] in the morning. And here on Record News, you'll be very well [00:00:58] informed about the 2026 elections, so [00:01:01] stay with us. We're going to Tocantins [00:01:04] now, because reporter Varley Costa tells us about [00:01:08] these first movements of the [00:01:10] elections directly from Araguaína. Hello Varley, good [00:01:14] morning to you. [00:01:17] Good morning, Daísa, I'm speaking directly from Araguaína [00:01:20] where about 124,000 [00:01:23] voters are eligible to vote and should [00:01:26] go to the polls in this first round. [00:01:30] The electoral court [00:01:33] says that all voters will be able to [00:01:36] clarify their doubts before going to the [00:01:39] polling station, try to bring an official photo [00:01:43] ID so as not to distract or lose [00:01:46] time when voting. In this [00:01:49] municipality, a dry law has been decreed, it is in [00:01:53] force until 6 pm on [00:01:55] Sunday. The municipal transport here in the [00:01:59] city will not have a fare and [00:02:02] is operating on a Sunday schedule. I spoke [00:02:06] yesterday with the judge of the first electoral [00:02:10] zone here in Araguaína and she gave [00:02:13] clarification for those who want to do the silent [00:02:16] campaign, let's follow along. [00:02:20] So it's a very complex, very time-consuming process, with many details, and I'll give a [00:02:24] general overview so that the population can [00:02:27] understand. The election here in Araguaína this year [00:02:30] involves more than 1800 people, [00:02:33] including 1500 polling station workers and 300 people [00:02:37] who are judicial assistants to work on the [00:02:40] day. So what makes up where the voter goes? There are 51 schools, they [00:02:44] should already look for their title, if they don't find it in the [00:02:47] title, they come to the electoral court, if they haven't [00:02:50] downloaded the e-title either, which helps a lot. I don't know [00:02:54] if they'll be able to today due to congestion, but they come [00:02:57] here to find out where they [00:03:01] vote. As I said, there are 51 schools with [00:03:04] 375 polling stations. We have [00:03:07] 375 ballot boxes and 17 [00:03:10] contingency ones. What would these 17 [00:03:13] contingency ones be for? If a ballot box breaks, there's another one to put in its [00:03:16] place, which is very rare, because they've been tested many [00:03:20] times. We also had these polling station workers [00:03:23] trained in person, in each [00:03:26] school there will be someone from the court if there's any problem to find us. [00:03:30] To look for us, we also held [00:03:33] systematic meetings with the military police, with the civil police, [00:03:37] with the traffic personnel, S STT [00:03:41] right, with the federal police, the public prosecutor's office [00:03:44] always with us. [00:03:46] We hope that everything will be [00:03:50] over by 6 pm. What do I expect [00:03:53] from all the work that was 40 intense [00:03:56] days with 40 people here [00:03:59] inside? From early morning until night, that it [00:04:02] proceeds with the greatest normality, that there are no [00:04:05] incidents, that the voter comes with this [00:04:08] awareness, that they try to be careful [00:04:12] about the possibility of electoral crimes and that we will not have [00:04:16] any problems, that's what we are working for for our voters [00:04:19] and for the election to be fair and [00:04:23] peaceful. Their silent manifestation [00:04:26] with a t-shirt, with a button, even with a leaflet, there's [00:04:30] no problem, silent [00:04:34] reporter Beatriz Consolina manifestation. What is not allowed is to have groupings and specific groups [00:04:38] that walk together with the same type of t-shirt, that [00:04:41] are groups, that could constitute illegal [00:04:45] items and take advantage of the launch conditions canvassing at the polling station. But their silent manifestation is not a problem, because the vote is [00:04:49] secret. They can bring a cheat sheet, they can't use a [00:04:53] cell phone, but there's no problem with that. The big problem [00:04:57] is also the scattering of campaign leaflets, which is something that we at the electoral [00:05:01] court are very strict about. So [00:05:04] the crime, the penalty is heavy in financial [00:05:07] terms, if I'm not mistaken it's 5,000, [00:05:09] the minimum. 5,000 and [00:05:13] something, so you pay a very high price for a [00:05:16] penalty, for very little, so try not to [00:05:20] walk around with too many leaflets in your hand, don't, don't distribute these [00:05:23] leaflets, I know it's not out of bad faith, but sometimes due to lack of [00:05:26] knowledge. The police, the police forces, [00:05:29] the armed forces that will be working, all of them, [00:05:33] including the civil police who will not be on the streets, but will also [00:05:36] be working, and here we have the federal police, their [00:05:40] post, their headquarters, so to avoid this [00:05:43] type of problem, Daísa, [00:05:46] our team remains on [00:05:48] duty, following the main movements in both Tocantins and southern [00:05:51] Maranhão. I'll return to the studio. Thank you [00:05:55] very much, Varley, for your information from Tocantins. We are now going to [00:05:59] São Paulo because reporter Beatriz Consolin is at PUC, [00:06:03] which is one of the largest polling places in the country, and brings [00:06:06] us all the details of these first moments of the elections in the state [00:06:10] capital. [00:06:12] Beatriz, good morning again. How is the [00:06:16] movement there [00:06:17] now? [00:06:21] Good morning Daísa, good morning to everyone who follows us. I'm here at PUC [00:06:25] and something quite curious is happening here, because we [00:06:29] are in the largest polling place in the entire country. [00:06:32] Here, more than 17,700 [00:06:35] voters will cast their ballots throughout the day. Since early morning, even before [00:06:39] the gates opened, around 7 a.m. when this team [00:06:42] arrived, there was already a long line, many voters arrived early [00:06:46] and the movement remained intense, but when you walk [00:06:50] through the corridors, there are practically no lines at the polling stations, voters [00:06:53] are taking an average of 10 to 15 minutes to [00:06:57] vote, when you look at the general situation, everything is quite calm, but there is one [00:07:01] single polling station among all 46 that is [00:07:04] precisely the accessibility polling station which has a very long [00:07:08] line. This polling station is for [00:07:11] the elderly, people with special [00:07:15] needs, people who use wheelchairs, the blind, or those who [00:07:19] need a sign language interpreter, and precisely in this polling station [00:07:23] there are voters, especially the elderly, who told me they waited more than [00:07:26] an hour to vote. I also spoke with the people here at the voting station and the TRE [00:07:30] (Regional Electoral Court) here in the state of São Paulo is the one that determines and distributes [00:07:34] voters per polling station, so there's not much they can do here. I spoke with [00:07:37] other voters who told me that this is not an isolated [00:07:41] episode. There was even an elderly woman [00:07:45] who told me that this happens every election year, and that one time [00:07:48] she even gave up voting, she arrived here, there was a gigantic line, she ended up [00:07:52] going home, so there are many voters, especially [00:07:56] elderly people, quite dissatisfied here, precisely because of this wait in a [00:08:00] single polling station, it ends up being quite curious because when you walk through the [00:08:03] corridors, everything is very calm, all the rest is going well, few [00:08:07] people waiting, the only one is precisely the accessibility polling station [00:08:11] number 440. We know that São Paulo is a very [00:08:14] populous city, the fifth largest electoral college in the country, more [00:08:18] than 9 million people vote here, only in the west zone, which is [00:08:22] where PUC is located, there are 3 million voters, more than [00:08:25] 2,000 schools, uh, polling places in the entire city of São Paulo, [00:08:29] so it's natural that there will be lines at some point, but here today the situation is very [00:08:33] specific because those who are dissatisfied and who are complaining a lot here [00:08:37] are the people who need special care or [00:08:40] priority, which are the people who are going to the accessibility polling station, [00:08:44] elderly people, people with special needs, who use wheelchairs, [00:08:47] blind people, among others, so many complaints here, Daísa. [00:08:51] Alright, Beatriz Consolin, thank you very much for your information. Beatriz, who [00:08:55] is at PUC here in São Paulo, in the west zone of the state [00:08:58] capital. We continue in São Paulo, because reporter Sônia [00:09:01] Souza also brings us all the news from the elections in the interior [00:09:05] of São Paulo, now. Hello Sônia, good morning to you again, how is the [00:09:08] movement there in the city? [00:09:12] Good morning. Daísa, good morning to all who follow Record News and look [00:09:15] at this, the first bulletin from the Regional Electoral Court of São [00:09:18] Paulo was just released at 9:30 am, which reported that [00:09:22] 24 ballot boxes were replaced here in the interior of the [00:09:25] state, in the capital, there were eight replacements made until [00:09:28] now. We remind you that the state has [00:09:30] 114,605 ballot boxes available to be [00:09:34] used in this first round of the election, to [00:09:37] serve the more than [00:09:39] 34,104,226 [00:09:42] voters throughout the state of São Paulo. Now, Daísa, whoever is [00:09:46] watching noticed that it's very windy here in Araraquara, where I am, right? It's not just [00:09:50] here, you know, there's a possibility of rain in several cities in the [00:09:54] interior of the state, in fact, I bring here information from the civil defense that issued [00:09:57] an alert for rain with the possibility of lightning and strong [00:10:01] winds and the regions of Registro, Sorocaba, [00:10:04] Bauru, Itapeva, Marília and Presidente Prudente are the ones that should [00:10:08] pay more attention, this is because in these places there is a greater chance of intense [00:10:12] downpours that can cause inconvenience, especially in [00:10:16] more vulnerable areas. In other regions of the state, here in [00:10:19] Araraquara, for example, there is also a forecast of rain [00:10:22] accompanied by lightning and wind gusts. [00:10:25] From tomorrow, for those who are already curious, the weather should remain [00:10:29] unstable throughout the state and indicates a possibility of [00:10:33] rain between today and Tuesday and the largest volumes [00:10:37] are expected in the regions close to the border with the state of [00:10:40] Paraná. Civil defense advises the population to avoid areas [00:10:43] subject to flooding, not to stay near trees, [00:10:47] metallic structures or in open places during [00:10:50] lightning storms. In case of emergency, we always remember to [00:10:54] call... 199 from civil defense or [00:10:57] 193 from the fire department and take advantage of this dry [00:11:01] period, right, while the weather allows, to [00:11:05] exercise the right to vote and participate in the festival of [00:11:08] democracy. Here in Araraquara, since 8 am, which was the opening [00:11:12] time of the polls, it has not rained, so voters are having [00:11:16] a calm morning to vote. From 1 [00:11:19] pm, there is a possibility of rain, it should not be hot today in [00:11:22] the city, with a maximum forecast of 27 degrees. So, voters of [00:11:26] Araraquara, take advantage of this morning period to already [00:11:29] exercise your right to vote and exercise your citizenship. [00:11:33] Daísa, I continue to follow everything here in the interior and will return to you at any [00:11:36] moment. Alright, Sônia, thank you very much, we really noticed [00:11:40] a lot of wind here, didn't we, in Araraquara? If you who are watching [00:11:44] us live in Araraquara or in some of these cities that Sônia [00:11:48] mentioned, now plan to go vote as fast [00:11:51] as possible, so you don't get caught by the rain [00:11:55] when voting. Sônia, thank you, good work, [00:11:57] and now we're going to Brasília, [00:12:01] where reporter Paloma Carvalho is at the Superior Electoral [00:12:05] Court headquarters. Hello Paloma, good morning again to you, how is the [00:12:08] situation [00:12:09] there? [00:12:14] Good morning to everyone who is following us again. [00:12:18] Here, it's calm, many journalists [00:12:21] working, the preparations for the announcement of the first [00:12:26] balance of these elections are already in full swing [00:12:30] here. So Minister Cássio Nunes Marques also cast his [00:12:34] vote around 8 am right here in Lago [00:12:37] Sul, a noble region of Brasília, at the [00:12:40] Nossa Senhora Perpétuo do Socorro school. He also followed [00:12:44] the Zerésima, the issuance of the [00:12:47] Zerésima which proves that the ballot box is completely without [00:12:50] votes, which kicks off the elections. Yesterday, [00:12:55] the minister also, in his official statement, asked for the [00:12:59] participation of the population in relation to [00:13:03] truthful information, right, especially through the press vehicles, official [00:13:06] channels of the Superior Electoral Court [00:13:10] as well. He said he counts on the help of the population precisely [00:13:14] in these 2026 elections. It's worth remembering, it's 10 am [00:13:17] here, the gates close at 5 pm here in [00:13:21] Brasília and of course the person, the citizen who is going to [00:13:25] leave home, can also consult, of course, consult their polling [00:13:29] place. For this, they need to access the electoral self-service, on the Superior [00:13:33] Electoral Court website, to check exactly where they will vote, bring their [00:13:37] cheat sheet with the numbers of the six chosen candidates, [00:13:40] federal deputy, district deputy, two senators [00:13:44] this year, governor and president of the republic. [00:13:47] It's worth remembering not to forget an official [00:13:51] photo ID, voter ID, or e-title, which is the [00:13:55] digital format, can also be downloaded today on [00:13:58] a cell phone so that the citizen can exercise their right to [00:14:02] vote. There are also some rules: cell phones are not [00:14:05] allowed inside the booths with the electronic voting machines, because the [00:14:09] vote is secret, nor any device [00:14:13] that can capture image and audio in the [00:14:16] booth is prohibited, right, so it's not allowed [00:14:19] and also it's worth remembering that silent [00:14:22] manifestation is valid. So you can talk to people when you [00:14:26] arrive at your polling station, at your school where you are going to vote, say, "I'm [00:14:30] going to vote for such and such a candidate," but you cannot go there [00:14:34] with that crowd, the collective, for example, gather, unite groups of [00:14:38] people, with candidate shirts, that is not allowed, this becomes [00:14:41] electoral propaganda. We also wish a peaceful election [00:14:45] for everyone and here we continue to follow all [00:14:48] the preparations, because in a little while at 1 pm [00:14:52] we will also have information about the first... the [00:14:55] balance of this first round of the 2026 elections. I'll return to you, [00:14:59] Daísa. Alright, Paloma, thank you very much for your information. As [00:15:02] Paloma said, from 1 pm, at 1 pm we will have the [00:15:06] first balance, so throughout Record News' programming, you [00:15:10] at home, of course, will be very well informed. Paloma, thank you, good [00:15:13] work. Presidential candidate Romeu [00:15:17] Zema voted around 9 am in Minas [00:15:20] Gerais. Romeu Zema of the Novo Party voted at the state [00:15:23] school, gave. Moreira in Araxá, the city where the candidate [00:15:27] was born in the Mineiro Triangle. Zema will [00:15:30] follow the vote counting at a bar in [00:15:34] Belo Horizonte, just over 360 [00:15:37] km from the polling station. [00:15:41] Elections have already been concluded in Asian [00:15:45] countries, direct from Japan. We're going now to reporter [00:15:48] Silvia Quicuche, who brings us more [00:15:51] information. Hello, Daísa, hello everyone. In [00:15:54] Asia, the first votes of this Sunday were cast [00:15:58] many hours earlier. According to the rules of the Superior [00:16:02] Electoral Court, overseas elections follow the local time of [00:16:05] each country, which is why the election started first in New Zealand [00:16:09] and then progressed through Asia and Oceania. Here in Japan, [00:16:13] the polls opened at 8 am, when it was still Saturday [00:16:17] night in Brazil, and closed at 5 pm local time, [00:16:21] 5 am Brasília time. And as soon as [00:16:24] voting ended, these bulletins printed by the [00:16:27] ballot boxes themselves began to show how the [00:16:31] Brazilians living here voted. Out of the 26 [00:16:34] polling stations in the Japanese capital, Flávio Bolsonaro received [00:16:37] 3,941 votes. Lula had [00:16:41] 1,418, a difference of [00:16:44] 2,523 votes. Voter turnout was [00:16:47] 38%. These are the numbers for the [00:16:51] 26 polling stations in Tokyo only. The [00:16:55] result maintains a historical trend of the Brazilian electorate [00:16:59] in Japan. Since 1989, when [00:17:01] Brazilians abroad participated for the first time in [00:17:05] a presidential election, [00:17:09] center-right or right-wing candidates have been [00:17:12] ahead here. Japan has about [00:17:15] 88,500 Brazilian voters and is [00:17:18] the third largest Brazilian electoral college abroad. The [00:17:21] results of all polling stations will be released [00:17:25] by the TSE after 5 pm on Sunday. I'll be back [00:17:29] with you in the studio. Alright, Silvia, thank you. The TSE [00:17:33] informed that the electoral court received [00:17:36] 124 justifications from voters who [00:17:39] are abroad. About 1 million Brazilians are [00:17:42] eligible to vote in other countries. In some [00:17:46] Asian and Oceanian nations, the polls have already [00:17:49] closed. Soon, the TSE should release the [00:17:53] consolidated numbers. [00:17:56] Electoral propaganda on the streets ended at 10 [00:18:00] pm yesterday. These images we are about to see [00:18:03] were recorded in Riolândia in the interior of São Paulo. [00:18:07] The rules of the Superior Electoral Court, the TSE, [00:18:11] prohibit candidates and political parties [00:18:15] and coalitions from carrying out propaganda on the [00:18:18] streets after this time. This prohibition [00:18:21] includes the distribution of "santinhos" (campaign leaflets) and other [00:18:25] graphic materials, walks, parades, [00:18:28] motorcades, and the use of sound cars with [00:18:31] campaign messages. These images [00:18:34] are from São José do Rio Preto, in the interior of [00:18:38] São Paulo. It is very important to highlight that [00:18:41] "boca de urna" (illegal canvassing at polling stations) is [00:18:44] considered an electoral crime. Despite the [00:18:47] prohibition of political propaganda, voters [00:18:51] can express their political preference individually [00:18:54] and silently, such as by wearing [00:18:57] t-shirts and badges. The first [00:19:00] round of elections takes place this Sunday, [00:19:04] with voting starting at 8 am and ending at 5 pm. [00:19:10] in the afternoon and now we go live to the Regional Electoral Court of [00:19:13] São Paulo with reporter Douglas Dias who is here on our [00:19:17] big screen. Hello Douglas, good morning to you, how is the [00:19:20] movement there and the updates this election [00:19:24] Sunday in [00:19:24] Brazil? [00:19:28] Good morning to you, we are here at the Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo, which [00:19:32] is in the center of the state capital, right? Many press colleagues are here [00:19:36] because this is the center of activity for the elections in the state of São Paulo [00:19:39] and also where all the information about occurrences throughout [00:19:43] the day arrives. Remembering that the State of São Paulo has the largest electoral [00:19:47] college in the country with more than 34 million [00:19:50] people eligible to vote. The first bulletin regarding the [00:19:54] replacement of electronic voting machines was released [00:19:57] recently. So far, 32 voting machines were [00:20:00] replaced in the state, 24 in the interior [00:20:04] and eight here in the state capital. Soon, the [00:20:07] president of the TRE will speak during a [00:20:10] press conference at 11 am with the first [00:20:14] official partial report of the day here regarding the elections [00:20:18] in the state of São Paulo. We return to the studio. All right, [00:20:21] Douglas Dias, thank you very much for your information, good work. [00:20:25] Douglas, who is in São Paulo. [00:20:28] Almost 160 million Brazilians are eligible to vote [00:20:32] today. See now the rules for going to the polls [00:20:36] to avoid headaches at the polling [00:20:38] stations. The gates of the polling places will [00:20:42] be open between 8 am and 5 pm Brasília [00:20:46] time. Voters in Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, [00:20:52] will go to the polls between 7 am and 4 pm, the same time adopted in [00:20:55] most of the state of Amazonas, with the exception of [00:20:59] 11 cities that vote from 6 am, that [00:21:02] is, all polling stations will be closed at the same time. [00:21:06] According to the Superior Electoral Court, 158 [00:21:10] million voters are eligible to cast their ballots. [00:21:13] 20,200 candidates are contesting the [00:21:16] elections. Voting is mandatory for people between [00:21:19] 18 and 69 years old, for young people aged [00:21:22] 16 and 17 and elderly people over 70, going [00:21:26] to the polls is optional. The proof of vote will serve as [00:21:30] proof of life for retirees and pensioners of the INSS. [00:21:34] To vote, you need to bring a photo ID. For those who have a photo and [00:21:38] biometric data registered, just the e-title app, which can be [00:21:41] downloaded on Sunday itself. Cell phones and cameras [00:21:44] cannot be used in the voting booth. During [00:21:48] the wait, it is not allowed to say the numbers of the [00:21:52] candidates, but t-shirts, badges and caps can be worn [00:21:56] by voters. Those who are outside their electoral domicile and requested [00:21:59] to vote in transit within the appropriate period, will be able [00:22:03] to vote for all offices, if they are in the same state, or [00:22:07] only for president of the republic, if they are outside the [00:22:10] state where they vote. The punishment for failing to [00:22:13] justify is a fine of R$ [00:22:15] 3.51. [00:22:17] Despite the low value, as long as [00:22:20] the fine is not paid, the citizen is prevented from issuing a passport [00:22:23] and identity card, from enrolling in public tenders or [00:22:27] taking office in public positions [00:22:30] or functions. And now we're going live to Rio de Janeiro, because [00:22:34] reporter Renato Filho is covering the elections directly from Campos [00:22:37] dos Goitacazes. Hello, good morning to you, how is the [00:22:41] movement there now? [00:22:45] Hello, Daísa, very good morning to you, good morning to you too, who [00:22:48] are following all the elections here on Record News. Look, I'm [00:22:52] actually speaking from Araruama in the Lakes Region. I'm [00:22:55] currently at the Professor Nair Valadares municipal [00:22:59] school, right in the center of Araruama. The [00:23:03] movement of voters here is intense, but [00:23:06] voting is calm. The security forces are working here to provide [00:23:10] more security and organization to this flow of [00:23:14] voters, and Araruama has 108,000 [00:23:17] eligible voters, according to the Superior [00:23:21] Electoral Court. The vote here in the Lakes Region [00:23:24] carries weight, because the region has 600,000 [00:23:28] voters. Araruama, in fact, is the third largest electoral [00:23:31] college in the Lakes Region, only behind Cabo [00:23:34] Frio and Macaé. It's a historic election, we [00:23:38] continue to follow all this movement of [00:23:42] voters here in the city of [00:23:45] Araruama. Voting takes place in 35 [00:23:49] municipal schools with only one electoral zone, [00:23:52] remembering that the Lakes Region is composed of Cabo Frio, [00:23:55] Saquarema, Araruama, Iguaba Grande, São Pedro da Aldeia, [00:23:59] Arraial do Cabo and Búzios, so it is a [00:24:02] large region, we will continue to follow all these [00:24:05] cities to keep the viewer well informed [00:24:08] about this whole situation here in the Lakes Region. [00:24:12] I'll return to you in the studio. All right, Renato, thank you very much for your [00:24:16] information, good work. Now we're going to [00:24:18] see live images here from São Paulo's Marginal [00:24:22] Pinheiros, isn't it? Traffic is calm this election [00:24:26] Sunday in Brazil, the thermometers are now showing [00:24:29] ... 26 degrees in the capital [00:24:33] of São Paulo. If you haven't voted yet, organize [00:24:37] yourself to vote. Remember that the polls close at [00:24:40] 5 p.m. Also, don't forget to bring a [00:24:44] cheat sheet with the numbers of all your candidates, which [00:24:47] is a way to speed up voting and [00:24:51] avoid, of course, forgetting the numbers when voting. To [00:24:55] tune into Record News in São Paulo, just tune to channel 42 [00:24:59] on your open TV, and you can watch all our programming for [00:25:02] free. We'll go to a quick break and be right back. [00:25:17] The Auto do Ipiranga receives its launch. Cross [00:25:20] take advantage of the last plot of land for dialogue in the region with more than 4,000 m2 [00:25:25] 7 minutes from Auto do Ipiranga station, apartments with two and [00:25:29] three bedrooms from 45 to [00:28:18] 10:27 a.m. Brasília time. Supreme Court [00:28:21] Minister André Mendonça voted around [00:28:24] 9 a.m. in Octogonal, which is in [00:28:28] Brasília. The minister was embraced by some voters upon his [00:28:32] arrival. After voting, he said it wouldn't be a [00:28:35] day, that this would be an important day for the [00:28:38] country where the people are the protagonists [00:28:42] and should be the great [00:28:44] winners. The number of people with [00:28:47] some type of disability who are eligible to vote this [00:28:51] Sunday has increased. There are almost 2 million [00:28:55] voters. For Newton, it's more than exercising [00:28:59] a right, it's a way to guarantee policies in [00:29:02] favor of people with disabilities like him. The public servant [00:29:06] was born blind and since 1989 [00:29:10] he makes a point of going to the polls. If I want to demand [00:29:13] government actions, [00:29:15] I have to vote. Almost 2 million Brazilians with some [00:29:19] type of disability are eligible to vote this [00:29:22] Sunday. The number represents a growth of more [00:29:25] than 40% compared to the 2022 [00:29:29] elections. It is the highest [00:29:32] ever recorded by the Electoral Justice. The [00:29:36] information about disability is [00:29:38] self-declared and is part of the electoral register. [00:29:42] We have more recently recognized as [00:29:45] disabilities, autistic spectrum [00:29:48] disorder and also fibromyalgia. The number of people with [00:29:52] disabilities has not increased, but the [00:29:56] diagnoses of [00:29:58] disabilities. The electoral justice expanded the number of [00:30:02] accessible sessions, now there are [00:30:04] 220,000. It is an effort of the electoral justice, [00:30:08] it is guaranteed by law that people with disabilities, as well as other [00:30:12] people, pregnant women, nursing mothers, can [00:30:15] have priority in voting. The electronic [00:30:18] voting machine has also changed to facilitate [00:30:21] voting and ensure more autonomy for people with [00:30:25] disabilities. Today, you can control the volume, speed, and [00:30:29] its Braille is much clearer. [00:30:32] Let's go now to São Paulo, because [00:30:36] is following all the elections in the Capital of São Paulo. [00:30:39] Good morning again, Beatriz.
