Did you miss voting in the Brazilian elections? Don't forget to justify within the deadline

Brazilian citizens registered to vote who missed the first or second round of the 2026 presidential elections must justify their absence with the Brazilian Electoral Court to avoid penalties. The deadline for the first round (4 October) is 3 December 2026, and the deadline for the second round (25 October) is 8 January 2027. The process can be completed online via the e-Título app or the TSE's Autoatendimento Eleitoral website by submitting proof of being in Portugal on the election dates.

Why it matters

If you are a Brazilian national living in Portugal, you must justify your absence from the recent elections by the specified dates to keep your voting status regular and avoid potential restrictions on obtaining or renewing your passport.
