Registered voters in Portugal can register between today and Thursday to vote in advance in mobility, in a municipality of their choice, one week before the legislative elections on March 10.
Under this method, voters register at a polling station of their choice in a municipality on the mainland or in the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira, by electronic means at www.votoantecipado.mai.gov.pt or by post sent to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Early voting in mobility, in national territory, must be exercised on March 3, seven days before the elections, at a table to be set up in each municipality, chosen by the voter.
If the voter has registered to vote in mobility but is unable to exercise this right on the scheduled date, March 3, they can vote on the day of the legislative elections, March 10, at the polling station where they are registered.
Introduced with the entry into force of Organic Law no. 3/218, on the occasion of the election of Portuguese members of the European Parliament in 2019, the early mobile voting method was chosen by 285,848 in the 2022 legislative elections.
In the 2019 European elections, 13,455 voters voted mobile, a number that increased to 50,638 in the legislative elections of the same year, and to 197,903 in the 2021 presidential elections, held during the covid-19 pandemic.
