Some machines from 2013 had technical problems at the beginning of the month and were exchanged for equipment from 2022 and 2022. This Sunday, there were only two replacements recorded. Another 45 employees from the Salvador Court went to RMS to assist in the operation.

The first poll of voting intentions for mayor points to an advantage for candidate Flávio Matos (União Brasil) against Luiz Caetano (PT). According to a survey carried out by the P&A institute, released on the 15th, Flávio appears with 50.8% and Caetano, with 49.2%, taking into account the intentions of valid votes.

In the simulated scenario, Flávio appears with 44.7% of voting intentions against 43.3% for Caetano. . In the spontaneous scenario, the União Brasil candidate scores with 43.5% of voting intentions against 42.2% for the former PT mayor. Caetano leads the rejection, with 42.2%, while Flávio has 39.8%.

The P&A institute predicted the second round in Camaçari by pointing out a scenario of a technical tie on the eve of the election on October 6, a scenario that ended up being confirmed at the polls.
