The second round of Brazil’s elections will take place on Sunday, October 25. Brazilian citizens eligible to vote in the United States, including the community in Miami, may participate. Those who do not go to the polls must justify their absence or face a fine, according to the Brazilian Electoral Court.

Runoff: Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva compete for Brazil’s presidency

Next Sunday the final electoral stage will determine who will be Brazil’s next president, in a contest between Flávio Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party (PL) and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Workers’ Party (PT).

The runoff was required because, under the article 77 of the Brazilian Constitution, no candidate obtained more than 50% of valid votes in the October 4 election. According to the results published by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Bolsonaro received 47.03% of the vote and Lula 45.16%.

When is the 2026 Brazil runoff in Miami?

According to the TSE, Brazilian citizens registered abroad may vote only for president and vice president.

For this election, 918,876 Brazilians are eligible to vote outside the country, representing a little more than 0.5% of the national register of approximately 158.7 million voters.

Polling stations are located in 186 cities abroad and operate mainly in Brazilian consulates and embassies, although they can also be set up in schools, hotels and other venues.

Where to vote in Miami in Brazil’s runoff

Eligible Brazilians may vote at Miami Dade College, Kendall campus, located at 11011 SW 104th St, Miami, FL 33176. Voting hours are scheduled from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (local time).

Voters can check their polling place using the e-Título app under “Onde votar” or via the Brazilian Electoral Court’s electronic services. To consult their location they should use their CPF or voter registration number, date of birth and mother’s name. On election day they must present an official photo ID.

Fine for not voting in Brazil from the United States

The fine for not voting or failing to justify an absence is up to 3.51 Brazilian reais per round, according to article 94 of Resolution No. 23,759, of March 2.

The penalty applies to each electoral day on which the voter did not participate and did not present a valid justification.

The regulation also allows the electoral judge to consider the voter’s economic situation when determining the penalty. Those who demonstrate poverty may request exemption from payment.

To regularize an outstanding electoral debt, citizens can obtain the Union Collection Guide (GRU) through the Autoatendimento Eleitoral service or at an electoral office.

Until when can absence be justified for Brazil’s runoff?

The TSE sets a 60-day period after each electoral round to submit a justification for not having voted. The deadlines for the 2026 elections are:

December 3: last day to justify absence for the first round held on October 4.
January 8, 2027: deadline to justify absence for the second round of October 25.

The request can be made via the e-Título app or the Autoatendimento Eleitoral – Título Net service on the electoral authority’s portal. In both cases, the voter must select the option to justify their absence.

It is also possible to submit the Requerimento de Justificação Eleitoral (RJE) in person at an electoral office, accompanied by documents that support the reason for the absence.

An electoral judge will review the request. If accepted, the justification will be recorded on the voter registration. If rejected, the fine must be paid.

What happens if the fine for not voting in Brazil is not paid?

Brazilian electoral law provides that absence from three consecutive elections, without presenting justifications or paying the corresponding fines, can lead to cancellation of the voter registration card.

Resolution No. 23,759 also includes administrative restrictions for citizens who have outstanding obligations with the Electoral Court. These include:

Restrictions on obtaining certain identification documents
Participation in public service entrance exams
Access to certain official procedures
Requesting the certificate of electoral regularity

For Brazilians residing abroad, the regulation provides an exception related to the issuance of a new passport for identification and return to Brazil.

The restrictions do not apply in the same way to those with optional voting, to people with certain disabilities that make voting difficult, or to those whose political rights are suspended.

Potatoes are a fundamental pillar of cuisine throughout Latin America. This tuber, central to countless recipes, presents technical challenges when trying to achieve a perfect texture at home. Many cooking enthusiasts attempt to replicate restaurant results, where they are known for their crispy exterior and tender interior. The secret appears to lie in an everyday ingredient chefs began using successfully during the 2020 lockdown: baking soda.

American cook J. Kenji López-Alt, a leading figure in culinary experimentation, promoted this technique after studying British cooking practices. The British often boil potatoes with rendered fat so a layer of starch forms that browns and crisps when exposed to oven heat.

López-Alt substituted the fat with baking soda after identifying a key chemical reaction. As he explained on the Serious Eats site, this solid compound breaks down pectin, the cellular “glue” that holds vegetables together. By disrupting that structure during the boil, the chef prevented the pieces from falling apart prematurely while encouraging the formation of a starchy paste.

The key to the method lies in manipulating the pH of the cooking water. The chef argues that the process depends on an exact alkaline balance. “The lower the pH, that is, the more acidic it is, the less it will break down. Conversely, the higher the pH, that is, the more alkaline it is, the faster it will break down,” the chef detailed in his technical analysis.

Based on this evidence, the cook recommends adding just one tablespoon of baking soda to the water. The reaction creates an environment that accelerates surface breakdown of the tuber, forming the thin layer needed to achieve the desired crispness in the oven.

However, the technique requires precision. The chef warned that how the vegetables are cut is crucial to the recipe’s success. The pieces need to remain large and consistent in size.

If the pieces vary too much in dimension, the effect of the alkaline water can become counterproductive and compromise the integrity of the preparation. The expert’s basic premise is simple: “Alkaline water helps the outside of the potatoes break down more, creating a greater amount of the starchy paste that results in an extra-crispy exterior.”

This discovery, supported by food science, changed how cooks approach the most popular pub side dish. By combining the parboil with baking soda and a blast of oven heat, it achieves a texture that once seemed exclusive to professionals. The technique is simple, inexpensive, and effective for anyone looking to improve home cooking results by changing one fundamental aspect of traditional cooking.

Step-by-step method to achieve roast potatoes:

Cut the potato into pieces of equal size.
Start them in cold water so heat enters gradually to the center of the tuber, and at the same time add one tablespoon of baking soda to the water.
A suggested ratio is one tablespoon of baking soda per two liters of water.
Bring the water to a boil and let it boil for five minutes.
Remove from heat, drain, and place the potatoes in an ovenproof dish.
Roast in the oven at 200 °C (392 °F) for at least 20 minutes.
Remove and carefully turn the pieces so the sides that are not yet browned are exposed. Then return to the oven for another 20 minutes or until fully golden.
Remove and season to taste.

SANTA FE.- La Justicia provincial sobreseyó a Gino C., el adolescente de 15 años que el 30 de marzo pasado ingresó armado a la Escuela N° 40 de San Cristóbal y disparó con la escopeta de su abuelo, provocando la muerte de Ian Cabrera, de 13 años, e hiriendo a otros seis estudiantes.

El sobreseimiento se fundamenta en que, al momento del hecho, la edad mínima de punibilidad vigente era de 16 años; la normativa que redujo el tope a 14 años comenzó a aplicarse el 5 de septiembre pasado. Por ello, el joven fue declarado inimputable.

El adolescente permanece internado en un centro de asistencia para menores en la ciudad de Santa Fe. Las autoridades analizan la posibilidad de un “egreso progresivo y controlado”, que dependerá de los informes de los especialistas que lo asisten.

La declaración de inimputabilidad cierra la vía penal contra el menor, pero no impide que la familia de la víctima lleve adelante acciones civiles: anunciaron que presentarán demandas contra los padres y el abuelo de Gino C., contra la escuela y contra el Estado provincial.

El 30 de marzo, alrededor de las 7.10, Gino C. ingresó a la Escuela Mariano Moreno —donde cursaba tercer año de la secundaria—, llevó una escopeta calibre 12/70 dentro de un estuche (arma que habría tomado de un ropero en la casa de su abuelo), la ensambló y, al salir del sector de sanitarios, comenzó a disparar contra los estudiantes que llegaban para la primera hora.

El primer disparo acabó con la vida de Ian Cabrera, de 13 años. Cuando el autor intentó recargar el arma —en medio de la estampida de alumnos y docentes que huían para ponerse a salvo— un auxiliar del colegio se lanzó sobre él y consiguió reducirlo.

La investigación posterior determinó que el ataque había sido planificado. Desde hace tiempo, el adolescente consumía contenidos de la denominada True Crime Community, una comunidad global que glorifica tiroteos masivos, y estaba influido por elementos de la llamada cultura “incel”, caracterizada por odio hacia las mujeres y resentimiento ante relaciones afectivas ajenas.

El juez penal José Boaglio hizo lugar al planteo de la defensa, a cargo de Mariana Oroño y Federico Kiener, y dictó el sobreseimiento por inimputabilidad, al considerar que por la edad del menor al momento del hecho no procedía una condena penal.

El magistrado precisó que la resolución no niega la participación del joven en los hechos, sino que determina que no puede ser penalmente condenado por su edad y por la normativa aplicable cuando ocurrió el ataque.

A pesar del cierre del proceso penal, la Justicia ordenó que sigan vigentes medidas de protección, seguimiento y control por parte de los organismos de Niñez y del fuero de Familia.

En diálogo con LA NACION, la defensora Mariana Oroño señaló que, pese a la resolución judicial, “en los hechos todo sigue igual”.

Esto implica que Gino continúa bajo libertad vigilada: habría superado un “período de adaptación”, permanece alojado con otros dos adolescentes y recibe evaluaciones psiquiátricas periódicas, además de seguimiento psicológico permanente.

Las acciones de la querella

La declaración de inimputabilidad motivó la reacción de la familia de Ian Cabrera. Su abogado, Luis Hilbert, anunció que presentará demandas civiles contra los padres y el abuelo de Gino, contra la escuela y contra el Estado provincial.

“El agresor entró con una escopeta y empezó a disparar; es un hecho gravísimo y exige responsabilidad. La escuela tiene responsabilidad, porque quien envía a un hijo a la escuela espera que le sea devuelto en condiciones adecuadas. Algo falló”, dijo Hilbert a LA NACION.

Al detallar a quiénes se dirigirá la demanda, el letrado indicó que será contra la madre y el padre de Gino y contra el abuelo, que era quien tenía el arma. “Si uno conserva un arma, debe resguardarla; no puede dejarla accesible para que un menor la tome”, explicó.

También anunció que demandarán a la escuela y al Ministerio de Educación de la provincia de Santa Fe por la responsabilidad en la seguridad del establecimiento. Según Hilbert, la provincia aceptó la legitimidad de la presentación en nombre de la víctima.

Esta mañana un chico llegó a la escuela Mariano Moreno armado con una escopeta y disparó a varios compañeros en la localidad de San Cristóbal, al norte de Santa Fe, como resultado hay una víctima fatal y algunos heridos. A la noche alumnos de la escuela , padres y vecinos prendieron velas en homenaje al chico asesinadoMarcelo Manera – LA NACION

Efectos duraderos

El ataque en San Cristóbal conmocionó a la provincia y al país, y reavivó el debate sobre la edad de imputabilidad, la prevención de la violencia y las medidas de protección en las instituciones educativas.

Como en ese momento no estaba vigente el nuevo régimen que baja la imputabilidad a 14 años, el caso generó sensación de impunidad y, en el corto plazo, un aumento de amenazas de tiroteos —mayoritariamente falsas— en distintas localidades, un fenómeno conocido como efecto “copycat”. En varios casos las autoridades aplicaron sanciones a los padres de los autores de esas intimidaciones para cubrir los costos de los operativos de verificación.

El episodio dejó una huella profunda en la comunidad educativa y planteó inquietudes sobre la seguridad en las escuelas.

Asimismo, puso de manifiesto problemas más amplios: la difusión de contenidos violentos en internet, la radicalización de adolescentes y las dificultades para detectar y prevenir conductas de riesgo.

La sanción se aplica por cada jornada electoral en la que el elector no participó y no presentó una justificación válida.

La normativa permite que el juez electoral valore la condición económica del votante al fijar la multa; quienes acrediten pobreza pueden pedir la exención.

Para regularizar deudas electorales se puede obtener la Guía de Recaudación de la Unión (GRU) por el servicio de Autoatendimento Eleitoral o en una oficina electoral.

¿Hasta cuándo se puede justificar la ausencia en la segunda vuelta de Brasil?

El TSE fija un plazo de 60 días después de cada turno electoral para presentar la justificación por no votar. Las fechas límite para los comicios de 2026 son:

3 de diciembre: último día para justificar la ausencia en la primera vuelta del 4 de octubre.
8 de enero de 2027: vencimiento del plazo para justificar la inasistencia a la segunda vuelta del 25 de octubre.

La justificación puede enviarse por la aplicación e-Título o por el servicio Autoatendimento Eleitoral – Título Net en el portal del órgano electoral, eligiendo la opción para justificar la ausencia.

También se puede tramitar el Requerimiento de Justificación Electoral (RJE) en una oficina electoral, adjuntando la documentación que pruebe el motivo de la inasistencia.

Un juez electoral evaluará la solicitud; si la acepta, la justificación quedará registrada en el historial del título. Si la rechaza, corresponderá pagar la sanción.

¿Qué pasa si no se paga la multa por no votar en Brasil?

La legislación electoral brasileña indica que la ausencia en tres elecciones consecutivas, sin justificar ni abonar las multas, puede llevar a la cancelación del título electoral.

El conflicto judicial y mediático que al escritor Hernán Casciari por denuncias vinculadas al financiamiento colectivo de sus proyectos audiovisuales incorporó una nueva voz del cine nacional. En declaraciones ante las cámaras de Intrusos, Ricardo Darín expuso su punto de vista y evaluó los riesgos y las dificultades de este modelo de producción participativa.

Consultado sobre el escándalo que rodea a las iniciativas impulsadas por la comunidad Orsai, Darín dijo estar informado de la situación y diferenció los problemas administrativos de la labor creativa. Señaló desde el comienzo que lo veía más como un asunto de gestión que como uno estrictamente artístico.

El actor aclaró que no recibió una propuesta concreta para sumarse a emprendimientos de ese tipo, pero admitió que desde el principio tuvo dudas sobre la operatividad de convocar a miles de pequeños aportantes. Explicó que le parecía complejo mantener un contacto permanente y ordenado con tanta gente para informarles el avance y el estado de los proyectos.

Aunque no conoce personalmente a Casciari, se refirió a la negación del escritor respecto a cualquier intención de estafa y consideró creíble su postura. Para Darín, las denuncias parecen responder a fallas organizativas: errores administrativos o una gestión que se desbordó.

Su crítica más directa apuntó a la promesa pública de garantizar retornos o asegurar el éxito de una obra. Recordó que Casciari había expresado con vehemencia en un programa que el proyecto iba a generar ganancias, y sostuvo con firmeza que en ningún proyecto artístico puede asegurarse de antemano su resultado o su funcionamiento.

“Me parece que fue un error de su parte. No lo conozco personalmente y no tengo elementos para juzgarlo, pero en el ámbito artístico no se puede garantizar que algo vaya a funcionar; depende de cómo salga y de la recepción que tenga”, concluyó Darín.

After a photo of Julieta Prandi in Brazil prompted renewed reaction about her separation from Emanuel Ortega, Sebastián Waizer, the friend who accompanied her on the trip, broke his silence and spoke about the controversy the split caused. The director, choreographer and theater producer provided new details about what the model experienced, responded to Juan Alberto Mateyko and addressed the women accused of being third parties.

Emanuel Ortega y Julieta Prandi se casaron el mes pasado en el registro civil San Isidro Gerardo Viercovich – LA NACION

Waizer gave his account in an exchange with a reporter from Puro Show. When asked about Prandi’s decision to step back from the relationship, the director was clear. “Obviously there were many conversations beforehand. The breakup is a consequence. Juli is not impulsive,” he said. Asked about the possibility of a reconciliation, he replied: “There is a conversation that could happen. I believe there should be one.”

“Obviously, after six years there is wear, crises and other issues. Getting married was a beautiful decision because they were fulfilled and very happy,” he said about possible reasons for the split. Prandi announced the separation on October 12, less than a month after the civil wedding, which took place on September 15 in San Isidro.

Agreements and accounts about the breakup

In her statement, Prandi offered some indication of why she made the decision. “Beyond the paperwork, which ultimately means nothing, each couple is a world with its own agreements and some are non-negotiable. This is all I have to say publicly on the matter,” she wrote. When the reporter asked Waizer about those agreements, the producer did not provide details. “The agreements are the ones any couple has. Julieta is now standing in life from a different place. There’s a shorter fuse, there’s more intolerance,” he explained.

When the conversation turned to reports of third parties, Waizer avoided confirming any infidelity. “You can trust your partner, but you may not trust the people who approach your partner,” he suggested. “If the contacts come from Emanuel’s ex, that can generate jealousy,” he added.

Pressed by the reporter on whether something concrete had happened, he answered: “We don’t know. It could be, it could be. Or one might not know either, but when in doubt you have to make a decision.” He returned to his friend’s position: “Juli is not regretful about anything she does because, again, she is not impulsive and she knows why she does it.”

The response to Juan Alberto Mateyko

On Sunday Juan Alberto Mateyko posted about Emanuel Ortega on his Instagram account for Ortega’s 49th birthday. In that message, the host harshly criticized Prandi for announcing the separation on social media: “You are not deserving of an official communiqué (as in the sad era of the dictatorship) for the end of a relationship with your partner, for whom you stood publicly,” he wrote.

Asked about those words, Waizer was direct: “Terrible, terrible, very harsh. Besides, I find it violent, an old-fashioned macho attitude,” he said. He also rejected Mateyko’s comparison: “Linking it to the dictatorship, Mother’s Day… I found it awful.”

For Waizer, support for the musician could have been expressed privately. “If you have a relationship with Emanuel, I send a WhatsApp and say: ‘Hey, I sympathize with you, I didn’t think what she did was right.’ Why make it public? What do you want? What do you need? That doesn’t add anything; it subtracts,” he said. About his friend’s reaction, he added: “It hurt Julieta a lot. It put her in a bad position.”

How Julieta Prandi is doing today

Toward the end of the interview, Waizer spoke about the present relationship between the presenter and the Ortega family. “They shared lunches, events and so on, always with respect. Then jealousy and territorial feelings come into play—those things happen in every family,” he said.

The director also commented on how Julieta announced the news and said he knew of her decision beforehand. “She was very much in crisis. When she did it, I was on my way to her house. I arrived and she had already done it,” he recounted. According to him, the statement followed conversations between the partners: “They had spoken beforehand. What she did was a press protocol.”

Finally, when asked how Prandi was after the trip, Waizer described the model’s state. “She is not sad, she is anxious,” he said. He asked for space for both of them: “Time, time for things to settle, for her to know where she stands and be able to speak from love, not from anger. Time for Ema as well.”
