PMDF deploys drones to monitor Brasília polling stations

The Federal District Military Police (PMDF) has begun using drones to monitor schools and voting sites in Brasília that already house electronic ballot boxes. The initiative aims to reinforce ostensive security and prevent suspicious incidents. The real-time aerial surveillance sends images directly to the corporation's command and control centers. This technology speeds up the identification of suspects and strengthens prevention against electoral infractions near polling stations. The measure also seeks to guarantee the integrity of equipment and the safe progress of the electoral process. The deployment comes as part of broader security efforts for the 2026 elections in the capital.
