COMPUTERIZATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Moralization | Electronic totalization
| Voting machine | Computerized balloting

Moralization - Instituted in 1932, the Electoral Justice has always held as principle the moralization of the elections. The first Brazilian electoral code, which was created simultaneously, established a series of measures to prevent "electoral vices", and already planned the use of the voting machine. Being responsible for all electoral services (enrollment, organization of the voting boards, vote counting and proclamation of the elects), the Electoral Justice has adopted mechanisms to guarantee the integrity of the elections.
