Convenções Partidárias | Direito Eleitoral Desenhado

Follow us on Instagram: Party coalitions in Brazilian electoral law are temporary alliances between two or more political parties, formed with the goal of joining forces during elections. These coalitions allow parties to run joint candidates, increasing their chances of electoral success. Main Characteristics: Temporary Nature: Unlike party federations, which are more permanent, coalitions are formed only for a specific electoral period. Purpose: They aim to maximize the electoral potential of the parties involved, allowing them to pool resources and efforts to elect joint candidates. Rights and Obligations: Although they lack civil legal personality, coalitions have rights and obligations similar to those of parties, including liability for contracts and unlawful acts during the campaign. Regulation: Coalitions are regulated by the Election Law (Law No. 9,504/1997) and by resolutions of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), which establish the rules for their formation and operation. 1 Recent Changes: Since the 2020 elections, coalitions for proportional elections (such as for representatives and city councilors) have been prohibited, being permitted only for majoritarian elections (president, governor, senator, and mayor). 4 This change aims to strengthen individual parties and prevent opportunistic alliances that do not reflect real programmatic affinities. #partycoalitions #electorallaw
