At the center of the campaign are calls to reintroduce printed voting ballots that could make it easier for the incumbent president's supporters to make claims of voter fraud. For more than a decade, Brazil has used a system of electronic ballot boxes that is considered secure by Brazil’s Court of Auditors of the Union, as well as by experts in the field of computer security.
