All voters Anyone who enters a website and shares a link on WhatsApp will be able to vote online in the 2020 elections. In the week of the elections, we can say that, at least this year, the amount of fake news was much lower. Municipal elections (which attract less attention and are more diluted than the one for president), other topics that generate rumors (such as the Covid-19 pandemic) and actions such as the coalition against fake news (in which Boatos.org participates) can help explain the movement. Proof that the elections are not yielding many fakes is that just Today, four days before the elections, the first attempt to data theft scam using the claim as “bait”. The message in question talks about a “benefit” that would go well at this moment: voting at home. According to the message circulating online, the federal government would have a program called Vote em Casa was created. To participate in the initiative, the person would have to register on a website and share a link with friends on WhatsApp. Read the message circulating online and the text on the website (in the version we saw it was “votoemcasa.com”): _URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT: To avoid crowds on Election Day 2020, the Federal Government created the Vote at Home program. All voters can register and vote via cell phone. Online voting replaces voting in person. You can vote from home, the beach or anywhere else, via cell phone!

TO SHARE_ ## Government created the Vote at Home program for the 2020 elections? There was no shortage of people interested in the program in question and sharing the message around. However, the information that indicates that the government federal government created the Vote at Home program for the 2020 elections is false. In reality, the message (as we said at the beginning of the text) is more of a of those messages that insist on circulating on WhatsApp (fortunately in volume smaller than in other times) that promise benefits in exchange for sharing. Unfortunately, even if you follow all the steps, nothing happens in the end (the worst that can happen is that you have data stolen). Us We recorded two videos. One of them warns against this type of fake and another explains why What should you do if you entered such a site. You can already see that the message is false, that you should not share it with no one can enter the site and leave their details. But things don't stop out there: in addition, she has wrong information about the elections. The first of these is to point out that the federal government would be responsible for initiatives in the election. Unlike countries like the United States, Brazil There is a body responsible for elections: the TSE. And then we come to the second wrong information. Although the TSE has plans to, in the future, allow voting by cell phone, this is something embryonic and will not be implemented in 2020. The TSE itself published a clarification note on the topic: _The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) clarifies that the statement that circulates on social networks and messaging applications about the possibility of register on a website to vote from home, using your cell phone, such as replacement for in-person voting. Every year – especially in the years electoral -, reports reach the Electoral Justice relationship channels of citizens who say they have received messages by email or via applications of smartphones with misleading messages pretending to be an official statement._ _These messages always offer a link of dubious origin, which invites citizen to click to find out more details. However, they are false and, as everything indicates, they are sent by criminals to, through them, collect data of the citizen, such as the CPF number, to be used in scams. In case of doubt about the veracity of the content of a message, always check the channels Electoral Justice officials – TSE and Regional Electoral Courts (TREs)._ In short: the story that points out that the federal government created a website for people registering to vote from home in the 2020 elections is false. In addition that the government is not responsible for the electoral process, the message is only yet another scam that aims to steal election data.
