How do Brazilians vote?

Answer 1

Brazil was the first country in the world to conduct fully electronic elections. Electronic voting was first introduced to Brazil in 1996. by using out dated machines like a old fashion phone booth since it is mandority to vote in Brazil it keeps track of everything.These machines are called urnas, they are portable electronic voting machines, and it has a backup in case of power failures. Voters punch in several digits to vote -- and are no longer obliged to write out a candidate's name. Printers have been affixed to a small number of the machines, producing an auditable paper trail. But congress is now planing on doing away with the paper trail is that printerless machines will speed up the voting process

In Brazil it is quite different it is mandatory for a literate person between 18 and 70 years old to vote. A person is allowed to vote if they are 16, 17, or if they are illiterate, or over 70 but at these levels it is voluntary. In Brazil, if you fail to vote in elections, you are banned from getting a passport before having voted in the two most recent elections, which can delay your passport for years. Indeed this type of, compulsory voting law isn't enforced at all; the hope is that the existence of the law is enough to encourage people into turning out. The law exists more to strengthen the idea of the civilian's responsibility than to force people to go and vote. In many places, this works, although not as effectively as where the law is more strictly enforced but it does work compared to the percent of people who actually vote in the United States. In Brazil 80% actually vote and only 60% of Americans actually turn out to vote.

Answer 2

everyone who is older than 16 years olds can vote. in the case of the president election, if a cadidate has more than 50% of votes he is elected, if not the two most voted do a second election to deside the new president.
