How to justify voting abroad?

In this post we'll help the TurMundial staff, that as we, live outside of Brazil and also has electoral domicile in Brazil and may not vote in elections 2018. We justify in past elections for mayor and was very calm, we will do again this year to avoid future problems (for example in renewed passport).

Here goes step by step: you will have to be justified by up to 60 days, after each shift, or to 30 days after returning to Brazil. Recalling that the vote can not be justified on the same day of the election. For voters with electoral domicile abroad (zona ZE / ZZ) You do not need to justify the absence of the vote in these elections.

How to justify the vote?

To make the justification voters will have to fill the justification form of Elections, and deliver it in a diplomatic body of Brazil (for example the Brazilian Consulate) or refer you to the precinct where registered.

We must send a proof of the reason for his absence in the election. The voter can prove that he is abroad through stamp in the passport, proof of residence abroad or other proof of activity carried out in the country.

registered voters in Brazil

Must send by mail to the electoral registry in which is written the following documents:

• O Electoral Justification Requirements filled
• a copy of a Brazilian official ID (RG e.g.)
• proof to justify his absence

Supporting evidence to justify the absence of voting must prove that the voter is abroad on polling day and can be: the passenger ticket, entry stamp or output in another country, employment or enrollment in any educational institution abroad.

If there are any errors in the application or the copy of the document is difficult to read the justification may be invalidated by the Election Judge, causing the penalty of a fine because of the lack of justification for the absence of voting.

If there is 2 shifts in the vote for president or governor, you will have to 2 justifications for, each shift amounts to each election, but you can expect the second round and send 2 justifications, 1 in each form, all together in the mail
