Colinha
Colinha is a free ballot-number list for Brazil's 2026 election. The about page calls the .ai a pun, and the footer counts 20.989 candidates.
Six numbers, and a phone that stays outside
The live homepage headline says the phone does not go into the voting booth. The line under it says that on election day you print the list or write the numbers on paper. The form has six offices, in the order the ballot machine asks: federal deputy, 4 digits; state deputy, 5 digits; senator, first seat, 3 digits; senator, second seat, 3 digits; governor, 2 digits; president, 2 digits. With a state selected, the state offices show that state's abbreviation, and the president line says Brasil. The footer labels the round 1º turno, 4 de outubro. The about page cites Law 9.504/1997, article 91-A, which bans a phone, a camera, or a camcorder inside the booth, and it points at the print button for that reason. The button on the page reads Imprimir colinha. The about page's party-vote answer says a party-only vote counts for federal deputy and for state or district deputy, and that the option sits at the end of that list, before blank and null. The homepage's second office is labeled Deputado Estadual, and the state menu includes the Federal District.
Alphabetical, with a start letter that moves
The about page says the site recommends nobody. The list is alphabetical, with no ranking and no highlight, and it does not always start at A. The first screen shows about 60 names. Always opening at A would keep showing the same 60, and more than eight in ten candidates on those lists would never reach that screen. Almost one in ten ballot names starts with D. Fewer than one in a thousand starts with Q. Six letters do not get a turn of their own, and a crowded letter is split into two or three. The start changes every 5 hours. There are 47 starts. The first begins on 10 September 2026 at 00:00 Brasília time, each lasts 5 hours, and the same shuffled order then repeats until the election. It was shuffled once so opening day is not the start of the alphabet and the eve of the election is not the end. Everyone sees the same start at the same hour. Party, number, and registration status do not enter it. The control offers rotating alphabetical, already selected, fixed alphabetical from A, and ballot-number order. Every fixed order favors someone, and none of the three is an order of merit. The choice stays on the device, and a shared search link carries it.
Kept on the device, and a guess from the IP
The page without JavaScript says the list stays only on this device, with no account and no sign-up, and that it is never sent to a server of theirs. The about page says a link or an image you generate puts the numbers inside the address. A wrong state is a guess from the connection's IP, and a mobile connection sometimes looks like another state. The guess is never stored. Your choice beats the guess and stays on the device. The data page says the site does not link a list to you.
20.989 on the footer, 19.632 on the data page
With São Paulo selected, the homepage footer prints Brasil 20.989 candidatos and São Paulo 2.639 candidatos, source TSE, 2026, updated on 03/10 at 20:14. Brazilian grouping makes 20.989 into 20,989 and 2.639 into 2,639. The data page says the percentages below are over the 19.632 candidacies for these offices, and the same page prints 20.989 candidacies of 2026, with 133 updated in the last load, dated 03/10 at 20:14. The about page's own update line says 18 September 2026. The data page says almost nothing is done to the file on purpose: no edits, no filter, no ranking, names and numbers as the TSE publishes them, in alphabetical order. A name is greyed when the TSE record is out of the race, for example resignation, death, cassation, or a cancelled registration. The name stays in the same place and can still be chosen. While judgment is unfinished, the candidacy shows as awaiting judgment and stays on the list as usual. The footer says this is not the official TSE app. The about page says one Brazilian developer made it, with no investor, agency, or party behind it, and takes no money from a party, a candidate, a campaign, or a public body. The site is free and has no ads. The costs named are the domain, the servers, and the hours of work. The support page asks for any amount and says it is not an electoral donation. Contact is [email protected]. The about page's answer on the .ai says it is a pun: the domain was free, and colinha.ai reads as "colinha aí", stick your numbers here and take them to the ballot box. No artificial intelligence chooses anything for you. If that ever changes, the page says it will be written there first.
