On the September 27 edition of Globo's 'Domingão com Huck', Luciano Huck presented TemMeuVoto, a free website that calls itself nonpartisan. Voters respond to eight policy statements and get affinity percentages with candidates for state and federal deputy and senator. The host compared the tool to an 'electoral Tinder'.

After the show, users said on social media that they were matched mostly with right-wing candidates even when answering from a left-leaning perspective. On September 28, congressman Nabil Bonduki (PT-SP) filed a complaint with the Electoral Prosecutor's Office asking for the platform to be temporarily suspended until its methodology is clarified.

In a statement, TemMeuVoto said it does not recommend candidates or tell people how to vote, explaining that it relies on candidates' own answers and, when those are missing, on voting records or party positions. The project is backed by more than 15 organizations, including RenovaBR and Transparency International Brazil. Huck and Globo had not commented as of the reports.
