Elections: 64.7m people are expected to vote next Sunday
São Paulo, 23 - Next Sunday 64.7 million people are expected to show up for the
second-round of the gubernatorial elections' voting, when the government of 12 states
as well as the Federal District, Brasília, will be at stake. The figure represents 61%
out of the total 106 million of Brazilian constituents.
The voting is expected to be totally electronic in Brasília and other states such as Rio
de Janeiro, Roraima and Amapá. However, the remaining 21.7 million people are still
expected to vote manually.
The electronic result is expected to be made available by Monday (26) at noon, the
Superior Electoral Court's computing secretary, Paulo César Camarão, informed.
The manual result, on the other hand, should no be available before late Wednesday
(28), when governors from all Brazilian states should already be known. (By Nelson
