The district courts will now have the power to order a recount of votes in district and city tabulations.

This was made known today during the presentation of proposals to revise the law on the election of the President of the Republic and Members of Parliament, according to Notícias.

The measure aims to improve transparency in the tabulation of electoral processes. However, its nullity remains the exclusive competence of the Constitutional Council.

Journalists continue to have the right to follow the tabulation process at the tables, in the districts and at national level.
