Context & Explainers
Advance voting lets people cast their ballot before official election day and in Portugal is called voto antecipado. It can involve fixed advance polling stations or mobile teams that visit communities, and election officials can change or relocate those sites for safety—which is why mobile advance voting locations were moved in six municipalities after Storm Kristin.
