Voters with fibromyalgia will have priority service during elections in Piauí. The measure was taken by the Regional Electoral Court of Piauí (TRE-PI) and is considered unprecedented in the state.
The decision follows a request from the Association of Fibromyalgia Patients of Piauí (Fibropi), which sought the court to guarantee rights for those with the disease during the electoral process.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread body pain, fatigue, and localized sensitivity. Patients with the condition frequently face difficulties in standing in prolonged lines and in static positions.
With this measure, people diagnosed with fibromyalgia will be able to receive priority service at voting locations, avoiding the need for long waiting periods.
