Your Voter Registration in Brazil
Every Brazilian voter has a voter registration, the “título eleitoral”, issued and managed by the Electoral Justice under the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
It records your electoral zone (“zona eleitoral”) and section (“seção eleitoral”), which define where you vote.
Keeping it regular is what allows you to vote and to carry out everyday procedures that require electoral clearance.
The Electoral Justice offers official channels to check and manage your situation online.
Why Checking Your Status Matters
A pending fine or a cancelled registration (“título cancelado”) affects more than your vote.
Without electoral clearance (“quitação eleitoral”), Brazil’s Electoral Code blocks a series of procedures, from getting a passport to registering for public exams.
A registration is cancelled when a voter fails to vote, does not justify and does not pay the fine in three consecutive elections, with each round counting as one election.
It can also be cancelled for missing a mandatory voter-roll review.
Checking early is the only way to avoid surprises.
What You Need to Check Your Status
Have your personal details at hand.
Your voter registration number (“número do título”) helps, but it is not essential: the official channels also let you identify yourself with your CPF and other personal data, such as your date of birth.
In the “e-Título” app, you sign in with your CPF.
How to Check Your Status on the TSE Website
The TSE’s online portal, “Autoatendimento Eleitoral – Título Net”, lets you check your situation from any browser.
- Go to the TSE website and open “Autoatendimento Eleitoral – Título Net”.
- Choose the option to check your electoral situation.
- Enter the details requested, such as your CPF or voter registration number and your date of birth.
- Complete the security check, if one appears.
- Read the result: it shows whether your registration is regular and points out pending issues such as a fine or a cancellation.

How to Check Your Status on “e-Título”
The “e-Título” app is the TSE’s digital voter card and puts the main voter services on your phone.
- Download the official “e-Título” app from your phone’s app store.
- Sign in with your CPF and complete the activation.
- Check the registration details shown in the app.
- If there is a pending fine, the app shows it under “Mais opções”, “Outras opções”, “Débitos Eleitorais”.
Besides the status, the app lets you see your digital voter card, look up your polling place, pay electoral fines and justify an absence.
What Each Result Means
| Result | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | Your registration is active and you have no pending obligations. You can vote normally. | Nothing. Just check your polling place. |
| Pending fine | You missed a round without justifying and the fine is unpaid, so you lack electoral clearance. | Pay the fine through an official channel. |
| Cancelled (“título cancelado”) | You missed three consecutive elections without voting, justifying or paying, or missed a mandatory review. You cannot vote. | Request reinstatement once the service reopens after the second round. |
How the Electoral Fine Works
The fine for an unjustified absence is set by the judge between 3% and 10% of a reference value of R$ 35.13, which means R$ 1.05 to R$ 3.51 per missed round.
People who can prove poverty may be exempted. The fine can be paid at any time.
How to Pay Your Fine
- On the TSE website: in “Autoatendimento Eleitoral”, open “Débito Eleitoral” and generate a bank slip (“boleto”) or pay by Pix.
- In the app: in “e-Título”, go to “Mais opções”, “Outras opções”, “Débitos Eleitorais”, and pay by Pix, credit card or bank slip.
- In person: at an electoral office (“cartório eleitoral”).
After payment, the clearance is recorded in your registration and that debt stops being a pending issue.
What to Do If Your Registration Is Cancelled
This is the point most people get wrong: paying the fine alone does not reinstate a cancelled registration.
You also need to request a review or transfer, either on “Autoatendimento Eleitoral”, under “Regularize seu título eleitoral cancelado”, or at an electoral office.
Voters whose biometrics were last registered or used more than ten years ago may need to go in person.
The deadline for 2026 has passed. Reinstatement in time for this year’s elections ended on May 6, 2026.
The service is suspended and will only reopen at electoral offices after the second round.
This means that a voter with a cancelled registration cannot vote on October 4 or October 25, 2026.
What you can do now is pay any pending fine and plan to request reinstatement as soon as the service reopens.
TSE Website or “e-Título”: Which to Use
| Feature | TSE website | “e-Título” app |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Any browser, on a computer or a phone | Installed on your phone, signed in with your CPF |
| Status check | Yes | Yes |
| Fine payment | Bank slip or Pix, under “Débito Eleitoral” | Pix, credit card or bank slip, under “Débitos Eleitorais” |
| Reinstatement request | Yes, under “Regularize seu título eleitoral cancelado”, once the service reopens | No |
| Other services | Polling place lookup and other voter services | Digital voter card, polling place lookup, absence justification |
For a quick check on the go, the app is the most practical. To request reinstatement after the elections, use the website or an electoral office.
What a Pending Issue Blocks
Without electoral clearance (“quitação eleitoral”), Brazil’s Electoral Code (article 7) prevents you from:
- Getting a passport or identity card
- Registering for public service exams (“concursos públicos”)
- Receiving pay from a public position
- Obtaining loans from government-owned banks
- Taking part in public tenders
- Renewing enrolment at public educational institutions
Watch Out for Scams
Reinstating a voter registration with the Electoral Justice is free of charge.
The only amount ever charged is the fine for an unjustified absence, and it is paid only through official channels.
The TSE warns about schemes that charge to “fix” or “speed up” a voter registration.
Never pay intermediaries: use only “Autoatendimento Eleitoral”, the “e-Título” app or an electoral office. The voter hotline (“Disque-Eleitor”), on 148, can answer questions.
