2020 Brazilian Elections
This year there will be municipal elections in all cities in Brazil. Dates are Sundays, Nov. 15 and Nov. 29.
However, in Alberta, as in all locations outside Brazil, there are only presidential elections. Therefore if you already transferred your electoral assigned location (seção eleitoral) to Calgary or other outside Brazil you do not need to do anything. The next elections to vote in the presidential elections in 2022.
In case your location to vote (seção eleitoral) is in Brazil, and you are unable to vote as you are
outside Brazil, you must justify your absence to the polls. For doing so, you can do via the e-Titulo app in case you have this app installed and properly working on your cell phone, or online via the TSE website https://justifica.tse.jus.br
You can also check with your ‘seção eleitoral’ for instructions, or even if everything suggested above fails, you can wait to return to Brazil and at that opportunity, you can do your justification of absence as there is a law that gives you the right to do so within 30 days of returning.
The BCA Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2020 will take place on Sunday, November 29th at 11 am at Casa do Brasil.
Due to gathering restrictions currently in place in AB to prevent the spread of covid-19, we ask all interested ones to email us by a couple of days prior to the date of the AGM, at info@brazilianassociation.org, to confirm your attendance, so that we can make the arrangements as required.
