Brazil: 1.75M voters annul presidential vote by entering wrong party number

In Brazil's 2026 presidential election, 1.75 million voters accidentally annulled their ballots by entering an invalid party number (e.g., 10 for Republicanos) instead of a candidate number. The '00' combination was excluded as a common null vote. This suggests voter confusion or interface issues, potentially affecting election results in a tight race.

Brazil TSE to Rule on Rio Governorship and Senate Seats; Electoral Outcomes Uncertain

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) is poised to rule on several high-stakes electoral disputes, most notably the appeal concerning former Rio de Janeiro Governor Garotinho's candidacy and the eligibility of Senator-elect Deltan Dallagnol. These rulings could significantly alter the gubernatorial outcome in Rio de Janeiro, potentially proclaiming Douglas Ruas (PL) as governor, and impact the composition of the Senate. The immediate electoral effects and the broader political landscape for 2026 remain uncertain.
