Registered voters in Portugal can register between this Sunday and Thursday to vote in advance for mobility in the municipality of their choice, a week before legislative elections on March 10.
In this case, voters register at the polling station of their choice in the municipality on the mainland or in the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira, electronically on the website www.votoantecipado.mai.gov.pt or by mail sent to the Secretariat – General Ministry of the Interior.
Early voting on mobility throughout the country must be held on March 3, that is, seven days before the elections, at a table that will be installed in each municipality chosen by the voter.
If a voter is registered to vote via mobility but is unable to exercise that right on the designated date, March 3, he or she will be able to vote on Legislative Election Day, March 10, at the polling place or precinct where he or she is registered.
The early mobile voting method, created after the entry into force of Organic Law No. 3/218 on the occasion of the elections of Portuguese deputies to the European Parliament in 2019, was chosen by 285,848 in the 2022 legislative elections.
In the 2019 European elections, 13,455 voters voted for mobility, and this number increased to 50,638 in the legislative elections of the same year and to 197,903 in the 2021 presidential elections, held during the Covid-19 pandemic.
