The president of the Brazilian Superior Electoral Court, Alexandre de Moraes, has called on citizens to vote as it is the "most important instrument to build a fairer and more equal country" and has recalled that the results of this Sunday's elections will affect the future everyone, from children to parents.

Moraes highlighted that in the first round of the presidential elections, held on October 2, the lowest number of blank and null votes was recorded in the last five elections, which, he assured, "demonstrates the interest and awareness of Brazilians in the election of their representatives".

During a speech broadcast on national radio and television, he highlighted the importance of the result of this meeting: "Brazil will take another important and decisive step on the path of development and progress, guaranteeing democratic strengthening and republican stability," he stated.

Thus, he has congratulated the more than 123 million Brazilians who cast their vote in the last electoral appointment and has called on those who did not to attend this Sunday to decide the president of the republic and 12 state governors.

In addition, he has transmitted that the Electoral Board has reinforced the procedures so that the long queues registered at the polling stations during the first round are not repeated. "That way you can vote quickly and enjoy Sunday with family and friends again," she pointed out.

Likewise, he has asked voters not to allow any type of coercion, threat or offer of benefits "to restrict their freedom to vote" and has recalled that electoral harassment is a crime.

Brazilians are called this Sunday to the polls to determine the political framework of the South American giant for the next few years, with two competing proposals: the current president, Jair Bolsonaro, and the former president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
