The party of the President of the Chamber, Hugo Mota (PB), Federal Representative Pedro Lupion (PR), newly affiliated with the Republicans, wants to revive the controversy over the printed vote for the elections in Brazil.
On Monday (10/11), Lobio filed a motion asking Mota to submit a draft that would prohibit counting votes exclusively electronically, as is currently the case.

The proposal presented by Lobio was presented in 2022 by Representative Celso Russomano (Republicanos-SP) and is accompanied by several other texts already ready for consideration in the plenary session.
The bill states that voting “shall take place virtually so that it remains as determined by the voter until the moment of public scrutiny.”

The last movement on this topic occurred in the Chamber’s Constitution and Justice Committee, in December 2024, when the group approved a draft with Russomanno’s text attached.
The proposal approved by the International Court of Justice stipulates that all ballot boxes issue a printed vote, but only 5% of them are subject to manual inspection to verify the results.
It is worth noting that Lobio is not just a deputy. In addition to being from the same party as Mota, the MP is the current president of the powerful Agrarian Parliamentary Front (FPA).
