Minister Luís Roberto Barroso, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), decided this Saturday (22) that states can also offer, voluntarily and free of charge, public transport services on the day of voting in the second round, on the 30th.

The STF had already decided, in a lawsuit filed by the Rede party, that municipalities can grant free transport on election day.
