What is permitted and not permitted during elections in Brazil (II)

Elections in Brazil are tightly controlled by the Federal Election
Board (“Tribunal Superior Eleitoral – TSE” also known as “Justiça
Eleitoral”), which, as the name in Portuguese suggests, is a court
system. There are a series of norms and procedures that must be followed
by voters, political parties and candidates, as well as people who work
for candidates in their campaigns. Here is a quick look at what can and
cannot be done in this year’s October midterm elections (“eleições
municipais”) when only mayors and seats in local legislative assemblies
(“vereadores”) are in play. The first vote takes place on October 7, and
in cities with populations of over 200,000, a runoff election will take
place on October 28, if necessary.
