Key details
On February 10, the Regional Electoral Court of Bahia (TRE-BA) held an institutional meeting to present and align its new Governance and Management Policy, led by Luciana Bichara from the Strategy Planning, Innovation, and Elections Secretariat (SPL). This initiative, based on Administrative Resolution No. 28/2025, stems from a 2024 working group that revised governance systems, aligning them with the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU), National Justice Council (CNJ), and Superior Electoral Court (TSE) guidelines. The governance model simplifies previous regulations, employing accessible language, and aims for a more integrated institutional operation focused on strategy execution and improved management. Bichara highlighted this system’s clarity on governance roles and mechanisms and emphasized the importance of institutional planning.
Meanwhile, the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará (TRE-CE) organized political education sessions targeting elderly populations in Novo Oriente and Quiterianópolis on February 6 and 11. These sessions, part of the Cidadania Garantida program, engaged 135 elderly participants, informing them about electoral participation and the security of electronic voting machines. Activities included demonstrations of historical voting methods and hands-on use of electronic voting machines, reinforcing the importance of exercising voting rights.
Together, these efforts reflect the Brazilian electoral justice’s commitment to enhancing governance structures and promoting inclusive political education, targeting institutional efficiency in Bahia and voter empowerment in Ceará.
