TRE-RN sets up service posts in shopping malls to regularize 139,000 voters; deadline is May 6

The Regional Electoral Court of Rio Grande do Norte has opened service posts in shopping malls to assist 139,000 voters with biometric registration before the May 6 deadline.

The Regional Electoral Court (TRE-RN) of Rio Grande do Norte has initiated a campaign to assist 139,000 voters who have not completed their biometric data collection before the upcoming elections. To facilitate this process, TRE-RN has set up service posts in several shopping malls in cities such as Natal, Parnamirim, and MossorΓ³, operating over the weekends. This initiative aims to make it easier for voters to meet the May 6 deadline to ensure their participation in the 2026 elections.

The TRE-RN emphasizes that many of these voters might have received their titles during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus potentially missing the opportunity for biometric registration. By providing service points in high-traffic areas, the TRE-RN seeks to enhance voter turnout by making access to these essential services more convenient. Voters are advised to bring an official photo ID and a current proof of residence when visiting these posts.

The biometric identification process is crucial as it enhances the security and transparency of the electoral process, eliminating the need for voter signatures on the rolls, thereby streamlining the voting experience. The TRE-RN's efforts reflect a commitment to ensuring that all citizens are equipped to exercise their democratic rights in the upcoming elections.
