Story highlights
Bolsonaro has long been sniping at electronic voting, introduced in Brazil in 1996, and advocating instead for the use of printable and auditable paper ballots to be introduced for the 2022 presidential race
Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia Sunday to support far-right President Jair Bolsonaro in protest against the country s electronic voting system.
In Rio, some 3,000 people marched on Copacabana beach, many without face masks and dressed in Brazil s yellow-and-green flag colors. What we want is that the votes can be recounted publicly, for there to be more transparency, because there have been suspicions of fraud, protester Ronaldo Calvalcante, 46, told AFP.
