Nearly 15,000 military personnel will be deployed around Brazil to ensure security during the Oct 26 presidential runoff, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) said Tuesday.

The army, navy and air force personnel will be stationed around polling stations in 280 towns of 12 states, as they were during the first-round vote on Oct. 5.

According to the Defense Ministry, the military will additionally provide logistical support, including delivering electronic balloting machines and transporting TSE workers to remote voting sites in the Amazon region.

Military Police and local police forces will also take part in the security effort.
