About the Senado Federal
The Senado Federal is the legislative body that represents the states and the Federal District within Brazil’s National Congress. It is responsible for discussing and approving nationwide laws, as well as playing a key role in overseeing the Executive Branch and defending democracy. Committed to becoming more modern, accessible, and efficient, the Senate turned to Visual as the ideal partner to implement innovative technological solutions capable of meeting the complex demands of the federal legislature with transparency, speed, and excellence.
The challenge
To achieve greater transparency, agility, and security in its sessions, the Senate decided to modernize its voting system. In 2008, VISUAL SISTEMAS was chosen to replace the outdated system with a more advanced, complete, and comprehensive solution — Visual Legis.
Overcoming the challenge
Solution applied:
In accordance with the technical specifications and strict security policies outlined in the Senado Federal’s public bid, the new Electronic Voting System—fully certified after a rigorous evaluation process by UNICAMP—is the only system in Brazil certified by the institution. Since its implementation, it has delivered 100% availability, ensured performance, and maximum security in all plenary sessions.
