Minister Fachin will command the TSE until August 17, 2022. In his position, he will continue the process of preparation for the elections, which began with the “Cycle of Democratic Transparency – Elections 2022”, held in October after the opening of the source codes of the electronic voting system, one year before the election. In preparation for next year’s elections, the TSE has also carried out the Public Safety Test (TPS), in November, and approved all the resolutions for the next election.
Election for positions
The election of ministers took place in Plenary, using an electronic ballot box and under the command of Minister Barroso. After extracting the zeroth (which showed that there were no votes recorded in the ballot box), the ministers went to the equipment to vote. It fell to Minister Carlos Horbach, after receiving the ballot box, to announce the election of Fachin as president of the court by six votes to one.
After the announcement, minister Barroso congratulated those chosen and said that the country will be lucky enough to have two great jurists at the head of the TSE in next year’s elections. “Two honorable people who have a great commitment to Brazil. Both ministers of the Federal Supreme Court, professors and doctors and with vast experience in public life”, he said.
“Therefore, I welcome not only with joy, but with tranquility the fact that the Brazilian electoral process will be being conducted by the honorable hands of ministers Edson Fachin and Alexandre de Moraes”, emphasized Barroso.
