------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Moralization | Electronic totalization
| Voting machine | Computerized balloting

Electronic totalization -In the presidential election of 1989, it was possible to totalize the results through computerized means in the TSE. The data was received directly from the regional electoral courts through modem.

The success of this initiative led to the computerization of the TRE of Minas Gerais in 1991; the electronic totalization of the results of the municipal elections of 1992 in approximately 1,800 municipalities; and finally the electronic counting of the plebiscite of 1993 in all of the Brazilian municipalities. The general elections of 1994 counted with a completely computerized vote totalization as well.
