Voting to define the first Chama Vermelha, or Red Flame Power, of A Fazenda 18 is open on Record's official R7 page. The public is choosing between two options that directly affect the weight of the house vote in the season's first Roça, the nomination round: cancel four contestants' votes or make the power holder's vote count as four.
The official poll was published on September 18, 2026 at 11:23 p.m. and updated on September 19 at 12:17 a.m. Record invites viewers to vote, but the visible text on the page does not provide an exact closing time. According to UOL Splash, voting remains open until Sunday, September 20.
What are the two Red Flame options?
| Option | What it does | Possible effect on the house vote |
|---|---|---|
| A: Cancel the votes of 4 contestants | Four contestants' votes are removed from the tally. | It can reduce the total received by one or more targets and potentially change who finishes with the most house votes, especially in a close count. |
| B: Your vote today counts as 4 | The power holder's vote is counted with the weight of four votes. | It concentrates more weight on a single choice and can widen or reverse a gap between the leading vote getters. |
This wording reflects the two alternatives announced for the twist. The official page reviewed does not explain, in its visible text, additional execution details such as the exact order in which each power would be applied during the vote.
How to vote for the A Fazenda 18 Red Flame Power
- Open the official A Fazenda 18 poll on R7.
- In the voting module on the page, select one of the two Red Flame options.
- Confirm your choice by following the instructions shown by the site interface.
The public text reviewed does not state that a login is required, set a per-person voting limit, or describe a repeat-vote rule. If the voting module displays any additional condition, follow the rule shown by R7 at the time you vote.
When does voting close?
UOL reports that the public can vote until Sunday, September 20, when the result is also expected to be revealed. The sources reviewed do not publish an exact closing hour, so there is no verified basis for giving a specific deadline time.
What happens after the public chooses?
The twist does not end with the poll. According to the published information, the Prova de Fogo challenge takes place on Sunday. Its winner receives the public-selected Red Flame Power and a second power whose content will only be revealed during the Roça formation.
On Tuesday, during the Roça proceedings, the Prova de Fogo winner decides whether to keep the public-selected Red Flame or the other power. This means the R7 poll defines the content of the Red Flame, while the decision about which power the challenge winner keeps is still part of the game's strategy.
How each option could affect the first Roça
The two choices alter the house vote in different ways. Option A removes four contestants' votes from the tally. Option B makes one vote count as four. In a close vote, either mechanism could change who leads the count or create a new tie.
It is not possible to know in advance which option would have the larger effect without knowing how the contestants will distribute their votes. The sources used for this guide also do not provide an official final poll result. What is confirmed is that the public-selected power is designed to interfere directly with the house vote in the first Roça.
What is confirmed and what remains unknown
- Confirmed: there are two Red Flame options and the official vote is hosted on R7.
- Confirmed: one option cancels four contestants' votes and the other makes the holder's vote count as four.
- Confirmed: the choice is tied to the first Roça and the Prova de Fogo.
- Not disclosed in the sources reviewed: the winning poll option, the exact closing time and the content of the second power.
To take part, use Record's official R7 page. That avoids confusing third-party popularity polls with the vote that actually defines the Red Flame Power for the show.
