Data from the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) indicate that the cost of elections this year should be higher than the amount spent in the last election.
While the 2020 vote required almost BRL 732 million for its execution, the estimated total for 2022 is greater than BRL 1.3 billion.
The numbers do not take into account the cost of purchasing the ballot boxes.
The cost per vote is R$8.53, according to court information.
In addition to the preparation in the national territory, the TSE must also provide 181 polling places outside the country, where almost 700 thousand voters vote.
