In Brazil vote is not a right but "mandatory" -> Quotes mean..double speaking.
If you don't vote you have to pay fees, cannot work on the public sector or get a passport.
So it is very common for the candidates with number 12345 being elected[1].
Or the ones with 123,111 [2] [3]
Even Business companies try to make "easier" for you to remember their number.

- facorreia 7y agoThere are many parties; each party has a double-digit number; candidate numbers start with their party number. You can even just enter the 2 digits to vote on the party's candidate list instead of on individual candidates.
