Polling station transfers affect 52% of voters in Rio favela

Original: local de votação

Voters in the Maré complex of favelas in Rio de Janeiro are discussing a report that 52% of them have had their polling stations transferred, forcing them to vote outside their neighbourhood. Residents and commentators see the change as a barrier to participation in an area already marked by heavy police operations and difficult transport links.

Why now: The electoral authority's reassignment of polling places ahead of an election has raised concerns about voter access and turnout in Maré.
