The method used will be the one previously selected in the profile (Personal Data) of the voter (e-mail or SMS) in the restricted area of the eVotUM site, or Digital Mobile Key (CMD – Chave Móvel Digital). If the voter choses e-mail or SMS, the eVotUM system generates a secret code that will be sent through the method chosen, and which he will have to enter in the verification box to validate the identity of the voter. If the voter choses Digital Mobile Key (CMD), he must activate it before the voting process (for more information see https://cmd.autenticacao.gov.pt/Ama.Authentication.Frontend/) and the validation of his identity is carried out directly by the service Autenticação.GOV without any intervention from the eVotUM system. At the end of the identity validation, the voter will be redirected to step 5 of the voting process.' %}
