I'll answer here instead, because the other forum category isn't trackable through mailing list, and I hardly have time to stop and open up the forum window in order to see what's up.
Brazil is somewhat turbulent now. Besides, unemployement is still a thing, specially for us free/libre software activists because most works related to computer usage says "requires _experience_ with Microsoft Office", and even though one can --- and I do --- sign for a job that doesn't require "experience" in one specific proprietary software (e.g.: construction site food servant, human resource manager, store waiter or vendor), it is still difficult to get hired because there is too many people already in Brazil. Furthermore, the country currently requires biometrical registry for voting, and uses computers for voting, which it shouldn't do ([1][2]). As for complying/making personal income tax receipts: The public pays 60% of their personal income in taxes per year just so that the current public organization responsible for the personal income tax declaration software makes it into a non-free one ([3]). There are community-made alternatives, such as IRPF-Livre ([4]), Rnetclient ([5]), and Declara ([6]), these are all usable, because one can have his declaration accepted, but the usage isn't user-friendly, and we need more people (and universities?) contributing to these, specially because there are some functions that are missing.

The author/interviewed in this article/transcript favors "printed" votes, but I don't. The main idea from the referenced article is that there is a problem, as always, with computers for registering votes. [3] <https://www.fsfla.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/softwares-impostos>.
