It is false that only Brazil uses electronic voting machines; 16 other countries adopt this type of voting

POST REVEALS WRONG DATA TO ALLEGATE FRAUD IN SAO PAULO ELECTIONS; NO IRREGULARITIES HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE SHEETS

What they share: video in which a man claims that only Brazil uses electronic voting machines and that this makes our elections fraudulent.

Estadão Verifica has found and concluded that: This is false, because in addition to Brazil, 16 other countries use electronic voting machines to some extent in the electoral process. Since the equipment began to be used in the country in 1996, no voter fraud has been proven.

Brazil stands out for its wider use of equipment. Here the registration of voters’ votes always takes place via machines. The paper ballot is used only when the electronic ballot box has technical problems. In other places, the equipment is used partially (in some parts of the territory and in smaller elections).

In Bangladesh, for example, electronic voting machines were implemented in the 2010 municipal elections. The equipment was used for the first time in a national election in 2018. That year, the vote was recorded electronically in six electoral districts of the country in 2023, the elections were held with paper ballots after the opposition protested against the use of electronic voting machines.

In Brazil, electronic voting machines were implemented in 1996 as a response to fraud with paper voting. No irregularities in the elections have since been proven.

THE Check We reached out to the video’s author, but did not receive a response until the report was published

How to manage content such as: Electronic voting machines are often the subject of mistrust. So that voters are not deceived, the Check listed 8 fakes about the equipment circulating on social media. Do a Google search for news like this.
