Goiânia mayoral election, 2012
The Goiânia mayoral election of 2012 was held on 7 October as part of the municipal elections in Brazil. Then incumbent mayor, Paulo Garcia, elected as the running mate of Iris Rezende in the previous election, ran against seven other candidates and was re-elected with more than 57% of the valid votes. On the same date, voters also chose their 35 representatives for the Municipal Chamber (''Câmara Municipal''). The elected mayor, deputy-mayor and aldermen will serve from 1 January 2013 until 31 December 2016, when their terms will officially expire.
Although he faced seven contestants, Garcia found no major problems in being re-elected in the first round. He took advantage from the outcome of the ''Monte Carlo Operation'', led by the Federal Police (''Polícia Federal – PF'') on early 2012. Until then, the candidate backed by Governor Marconi Perillo, then-Senator Demóstenes Torres, was the favorite in the opinion polls. PF's investigations, however, revealed that Perillo was an accessary to mobster Carlinhos Cachoeira and that Torres lobbied on his behalf at the Senate. Allegations of corruption undermined the intention of Perillo's Brazilian Social Democracy Party (''Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira – PSDB'') to launch Congressman Leonardo Vilela, also associated with Cachoeira, or to support Torres, which was later impeached for his affiliation with the offender. Therefore, Perillo decided to support Congressman Jovair Arantes, that was hampered by the unpopularity of the latter.
==Electorate==
In the 2012 election, 850,777 people were eligible to vote in Goiânia,〔Irene, Mirelle. ("GO: títulos de 123 mil eleitores são cancelados na capital" ). Terra. 17 September 2012. Retrieved 20 December 2012〕 which corresponded to 64.5% of the city's population, according to estimates from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (''Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE'').〔("Estimativa Populacional 2011" ). Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. Retrieved 20 December 2012.〕 The city is divided into ten precincts – organized similarly to the city's official subdivision –, 2,909 voting rooms and 359 polling places.〔(Eleições 2012 ). Tribunal Regional Eleitoral de Goiás. June 2012. Retrieved 20 December 2012.〕 In 2012, biometric voting machines – which identifies voters by their fingerprints – were introduced in Goiânia. From 11 April 2011 to 23 March 2012, voters were called upon by the Regional Electoral Court (''Tribunal Regional Eleitoral de Goiás – TRE'') to register their fingerprints.〔("Revisão biométrica cancela 122 mil títulos em Goiânia-GO" ). Tribunal Superior Eleitoral. 27 April 2012. Retrieved 20 December 2012.〕 By the end of the period, more than 80% of voters had made the registration.〔("Eleitores de Goiânia têm novo prazo para recadastramento biométrico" ). G1. 29 February 2012. Retrieved 20 December 2012.〕 The deadline was later extended until 9 May 2012. The refusal to register resulted in the cancellation of the voter registration card and in a fine ranging from 3% to 10% of the minimum wage. Without the card, a regular Brazilian is unable to get a passport, to retire from the Social Security, to enroll in public schools or universities, to obtain a loan from state-run banks or to become a civil servant. According to TRE-GO, 123,000 voter cards were canceled in Goiânia due to the lack of fingerprint registration.
