Troops in Brazil to be deployed to ensure election safety
The election will be the first under Brazil's new electoral system, and the use of troops is seen as a way to prevent fraud.
The decision was made by the Regional Electoral Court of Paraíba TRE-PB.
The Regional Electoral Court of Paraíba TRE-PB approved the summons of federal troops to reinforce security during the first round of the elections scheduled for October 2, 2022.
The measure aims to prevent fraud and ensure the smooth running of the electoral process.
In addition to the requests for federal troops for the cities of Bayeux and Cabedelo, the Regional Electoral Court of Paraíba also approved the request for troops in the municipalities of Cabedelo and Bayeux.
The decision was made unanimously by the seven members of the court during a session held on Friday afternoon (16).
The use of federal troops in elections is not unprecedented in Brazil, but it is the first time that troops will be deployed under the country's new electoral system.
The new system, which was approved by Congress in 2018, introduces a number of changes to the way elections are conducted in Brazil, including the use of electronic voting machines and the creation of a new electoral court.
The deployment of federal troops is seen as a way to ensure the smooth operation of the new system and to prevent fraud.
* **The number of federal troops that will be deployed has not yet been determined.** * **The troops will be deployed in cities across Brazil, with a focus on areas where there is a history of electoral violence.** * **The troops will be responsible for providing security at polling stations and other electoral facilities.** * **The troops will also be responsible for patrolling the streets and enforcing the law.**The deployment of federal troops is expected to cost the Brazilian government millions of dollars.
However, the government believes that the cost is justified given the importance of ensuring the smooth running of the elections.
The elections are seen as a crucial test of Brazil's new electoral system.
A successful election will help to strengthen the country's democracy and ensure that the will of the people is respected.
