The electronic ballot box simulator of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) was created so that voters can know how to vote on October 7th. The free online system provides fictitious candidates in the same voting order that the voter will encounter in the first round of Eleio 2018. The platform was developed to simulate in detail the voter's experience with the electronic ballot box with sounds, buttons and all the actions present in the real urn.
