O presidente do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), ministro Kassio Nunes Marques, disse nesta terça-feira (20) que a Corte não participou das alterações de locais de votação para o segundo turno das eleições, no próximo domingo (25).  Segundo Nunes Marques, a mudança é de responsabilidade dos TREs nos estados e ocorre por problemas registrados durante o primeiro turno, como danos estruturais em escolas e desabamentos em razão das chuvas.  Notícias relacionadas:Saiba como consultar o seu local de votação.Local de votação ainda pode mudar; consulte de novo antes de ir à urna.“O TSE não tem nenhuma participação na alteração de endereço de local de votação. Ele não solicita, não autoriza, não há nenhum tipo de cancelamento. Isso é uma demanda que é detectada pelo cartório eleitoral e é resolvida pelos tribunais regionais eleitorais”, afirmou. Durante a abertura de sessão desta noite, o ministro explicou que a diferença entre o número de mudanças de locais ocorreu porque o sistema eletrônico usado para comunicar as alterações estava desatualizado. No início desta semana, o site do TSE indicava que cerca de 4 mil seções seriam alteradas para o segundo turno. Conforme os dados foram atualizados, caíram para 102 locais de votação em todo o país que seriam alterados. O número de seções ainda não foi atualizado.  A inconsistência de dados foi sanada após o TSE enviar um ofício aos tribunais regionais eleitorais (TREs) para pedir, por escrito, a atualização imediata das informações. Mudanças em locais de votação Até o momento, as mudanças em locais de votação ocorrerão nos seguintes estados: Mato Grosso do Sul (1 local); Sergipe (1); Amapá (1); Rio de Janeiro (1); Amazonas (3); Pernambuco (3); Rondônia (3); Mato Grosso (1); Bahia (3); Paraíba (4); Espírito Santo (4); São Paulo (4); Ceará (6); Rio Grande do Sul (7); Paraná (9); Maranhão (13); Pará (11); Piauí (4) e Minas Gerais (17). O Distrito Federal e os estados do Acre, Goiás, Roraima, Santa Catarina, Alagoas e Tocantins não tiveram alterações nos locais de votação. Como saber  Para verificar se houve mudança no local de votação, o eleitor pode acessar o aplicativo E-título, Autoatendimento eleitoral ou ChatVote. Mesmo que o eleitor tenha consultado o local de votação com antecedência, ele deve verificar novamente a informação no dia da eleição, no domingo (25), antes de sair de casa. Outra dica é votar pela manhã, para ter mais tempo de se deslocar caso a seção eleitoral tenha mudado de lugar. Nos últimos dias, têm circulado diversas mensagens em grupos de WhatsApp ou nas redes sociais com links não oficiais sobre locais de votação que não são confiáveis. O eleitor não deve consultar o local de votação em links que não sejam os oficiais da Justiça Eleitoral.
