Hi all! Just wanted to let everyone know that if you have not contacted the consulate serving your area to register your presence then you may want to do so now so you can register to vote in the Presidential election.
My wife received an email from the Houston consulate last week telling her where to go for registration. It was only open for 6 hours on Saturday, and the registration officials said they were going state to state doing the registration. You will need your Brazilian ID with picture (passport or RG) and current US document with picture showing current address, and finally, your Titulo de Eleitor (if you have one).
Good Luck!

I'm sorry...Let me clarify. You can register or the Brazilian presidential election...not the US. You'll need to contact the Brazilian consulate to register your presence (if you want) in the USA so they can contact you about various things. Mike

I think Lula will be reelected, tho, people never learn 
Isn't it amazing? I think we'll see the comparison to Bush's reelection. Everyone is against, everything is wrong, and yet, they win!

Hey ppl!!!
Let me clarify!!!! We are obligated to vote for president in Brasil, even being here... Of course we dont need to go to Brasil...
I'll find the info later... I need to go now... But I know that if we dont vote or justify why we didnt vote, you can have your CPF cancelled and in the future we cannot get another passport...
Cya later...

wtf???? we are? Dang. I thought i would get rid of that there, i hate the fact i'm obligated to vote. It should be a choice not an obligation.
Even after you are done with the AOS, etc u have to keep voting in brazilian election?
