The organization of elections abroad, such as sending ballot boxes and opening polling stations, is the responsibility of the state electoral court of the federal district (TREDF). The agency said it has already started receiving the first ballots from other countries. However, the publication of the official results should not begin until 5 p.m.
This year, for the first time, all polling stations in Brazil will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Brasilia time. In places with a different time zone, the time is therefore adjusted according to the local time.
However, the rule does not apply to voters at polling stations abroad, where polling stations are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.
