Cármen underlined that over 488 thousand ballot boxes were used today, with a limited number of exchanges. “As we know, we have ballot integrity testing, which is another tool. It is not the only one, nor is it essential, but it is another tool to reaffirm the integrity of the ballot boxes and, from 2022, we also have the integrity test with biometric data in which we invite voters to participate with us,” he said , adding that of these tests, 2,500 were carried out with volunteer voters and 104 inspectors followed up the integrity test with biometric data.

We have had a return to normal democracy, without depreciation of the institutions, says Cármen Lúcia

Cármen said once again that democracy must be praised, because no other regime has been found that is better than this one. “We live under a regime that allows us to be free to be what we want to be. We therefore return to the condition of considering institutions normal, valid and not depreciating in the search for a break with democratic institutions, which only goes against society itself and the desire of every citizen,” he assessed.
