Urna eletrônica é auditável e mais segura que voto impresso - Fábio Pozzebom/Agência Brasil

In Brazil, the Supreme Electoral Court is responsible for coordinating elections. It has seven ministers, three of them from the Supreme Federal Court. In a year like this one, with presidential elections that promise to be turbulent, the Court has a change of command.

"The Supreme Electoral Court organizes the elections, decides on issues that affect the electoral process, and, in recent years, has been trying to be an essential trench to reaffirm the democratic values and to protect Brazilian institutions. Sometimes, we face things we thought were in the past. Even so, our role is to keep on pushing in the right direction", says Luís Roberto Barroso, the former president of Brazil’s Supreme Electoral Court  .

On the news update: The country now has a 100% Brazilian vaccine, produced by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, also known as Fiocruz, a research institution linked to the Ministry of Health.  

It has the same formula as AstraZeneca’s covid-19 vaccine, which Brazil has already been producing. But the news is that the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient, or API, previously imported to the country, came to be produced in Brazil.  

Also on All What's Happening in Brazil: listen to Adriana Araújo. She is known in samba jamming sessions in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais’ capital city.  Last year, she released her first album, “Minhas Verdade”, which means “My truth” in English.

All What's Happening in Brazil episodes are available at Brasil de Fato's YouTube channel, where you'll also find a special English-content playlist. Partners who wish to include a longer version of the show in their schedule may contact our international team at [email protected].
