In the registration and voting centers (CIV), future voters are becoming increasingly rare as the days go by. This observation is particularly noticeable at the center located at the Georg Ohm Mixed Institution in Delmas 75, which we visited on Thursday, October 1, 2026. The doors of this center open at 8 a.m. every day of the week. However, by midday on Thursday, October 1, only five citizens had registered as voters. The number did not exceed fifteen by the time the office closed around 4 p.m.

This center, opened on August 17, 2026, has two electoral registry agents (ADRE) who handle voter registrations from Sunday to Saturday. One can hardly say they are overwhelmed with work. Regarding the low number of citizens who came to register on October 1, they explain, "It’s always like this these days. The registered voters are not numerous." For reasons of confidentiality imposed by the CEP, these agents cannot share certain information that may be sensitive about the registration process. But they add, amused, "Some days, we can spend the day without receiving a single person."
