Yes, it is. Bear in mind that voting is mandatory in Brazil (for anyone over 18 up to 65 I thinkg. 16 and older can vote but is not mandatory). Also, most people don't know, even brazilians, but if you don't vote and don't have a valid justification for not voting, the fine you pay is very, very, cheap. Like less than 1 USD.

That's not cheap for the millions earning less than $200 a month.

I just checked, it's USD 0.66 (sixty-six cents), or 3.5 Brazilian Reais. That's a cheap fine even by brazilian poverty levels. The most annoying thing about not voting is not the cheap fine, it's the things you can't do if you don't get it sorted out (either by paying the fine or by presenting a valid reason for not voting): you can't work in the public sector, you can't get a passport, etc.

No fine is cheap when you already can't buy enough food.

C'mon, you're just pushing your agenda now. "No fine is cheap" is BS. How about a 2 cent fine? Not cheap? Whatever.

I'm not pushing an agenda. This is basic math.

Tell me then (really, no sarcasm), what would you consider to be a 'cheap' fine in Brazil?

USD $0.66 is cheap for Brazil. What I said is more specific: I said that it's not cheap for Brazilians who run out of money for food before their next pay. Both can be true if you're not looking for a debate.
