The polling stations have not “disappeared”, they have been aggregated; the votes have been counted – 08/11/2022

Allegations that question the alleged disappearance of polling stations on the TSE (Higher Electoral Court) 2022 election results site are false. Misleading videos suggest that votes were not counted because polling stations do not appear on the website. The dotted sections, however, have been aggregated with others, and the result of the main section sums the votes of the voters of the sections that have been aggregated.

The misleading videos use examples from polling places in Miami, London, Canada and Petropolis. In one of them, a man wonders about the disappearance of the sections 3235, 3150 and 3376 in Miami🇧🇷 It shows three ballots that indicate these sections.

The three sections in Miami. the section 3235 has been added to section 1167🇧🇷 In this section, the number of eligible voters has been 794 and 406 participated🇧🇷 Jair Bolsonaro (PL) had 332 votes, while Lula (PT) had 63🇧🇷 (see the ballot box here in this section).

Section 3150 has been added to Section 1177, which had 797 eligible voters, of whom 380 were present. 🇧🇷see the urn section here🇧🇷 In this section, Jair Bolsonaro (PL) obtained 283 votes and Lula (PT), 86.

The other section underlined by the elector, the 3376 has been added to section 1334🇧🇷 In this section, there were 592 eligible voters and 315 were present. Jair Bolsonaro had 235 votes and Lula, 59🇧🇷 🇧🇷see the urn here🇧🇷

One more section in Miami. Another Miami voter also points out that the section where he votes does not appear on the site. EST results🇧🇷 The rubric is 3345, which was added to article 1346🇧🇷 According to the TRE-DF (Regional Electoral Court of the Federal District), competent for elections abroad, Section 3345 was aggregated because it had 396 voters, while Section 1346 had 399.

In this main section (1346) there were a total of 792 eligible voters, of whom 538 were present. Jair Bolsonaro had 452 votes and Lula, 80🇧🇷 🇧🇷see the urn here🇧🇷

“The number of votes in the section can be verified by the respective ballot box printed at the end of the vote, as well as by the attendance registers in the appropriate voting books signed by the voters voting”, justifies the electoral tribunal.

Only in Miami, according to information from TSE Open Data Portal🇧🇷 57 sections have been added to the main sections.

In According to the electoral courtthe aggregation of sections is customary to optimize sections with few voters, mainly abroad, in order to reduce operating costs.

London. The same situation is shown in a video that displays a voting receipt from the polling station 1662 in Londonwhich does not appear on the TSE Results website. Pointed Section added to Section 1657🇧🇷 There were 797 voters eligible to vote, of which 379 turned out. Lula (PT) obtained 205 votes and Jair Bolsonaro (PL), 164. 🇧🇷See the ballot box for this section here🇧🇷

According to information from TSE Open Data Portal🇧🇷 46 sections have been added in London.

Canada. A voter from Toronto, Canada, asks on video: “I wanted to know, Mr. Alexandre de Moraes, where is my section? Where did my vote go?” after showing the ballot containing the polling station 1212 of the Toronto riding. THE article 1212 was added to 1488🇧🇷 In Toronto, 23 sections were added to others.

THE item 1448which includes votes for section 1212, questioned by the voter, recorded 783 eligible voters, of whom 369 showed up to vote at the polls. In this section🇧🇷 Jair Bolsonaro had 186 votes and Lula 168🇧🇷 🇧🇷check the ballot box here🇧🇷

Petropolis. The video of a voter of Petrópolis (RJ) shows the proof of the vote for the second round with the section 121 of electoral zone 29🇧🇷 The woman points to the TSE Results website and says that the section has been removed from the platform, which is not true. Article 121 has been added to Article 53🇧🇷 The caption of the post asks “where are my votes?”. Votes can be cast at polling station 53. (See the ballot box here🇧🇷

In Section 121, there were 474 eligible voters of whom 342 were present. Jair Bolsonaro obtained 185 votes and Lula 143.

According to the portal TSE Open Data🇧🇷 in Petrópolis, 63 sections were added.

According to the TRE-RJ (Regional Electoral Court of Rio de Janeiro), voters in Sections 53 and 121 vote on the same electronic voting machine.

“In the TSE system, only those effective sections are included, which have incorporated the others, beginning to function as a single section. This does not mean that the votes of the voters of the aggregated sections have not been counted. Therefore, l ‘urn (BU) of article 121 does not appear in the voting result system, because the votes are counted in article 53 BU, which can be consulted on the website, ”justifies the court.

But then, how did these people vote? They addressed the main polling stations (urns) which aggregated the other🇧🇷 Information about where the voter would vote was available in the e-Título da Justiça Eleitoral application. Moreover, the printed ballots at the end of the vote too display information about aggregated sections🇧🇷 See:

The printed ballot box shows that section 121 has been added to 53. The document also shows the total of the aggregated sections (1)
