Eleições brasileiras de 2018 e 2022: do fim das coligações ao início das Federações

Abstract

The article is in the field of studies on parliamentary elections. The object of analysis is a chance in the rules for presenting candidatures for the House between 2018 and 2022, when electoral coalitions were replaced by Party Federations. The objective is to compare the results by party and region of the country to identify differences in electoral performance based on the percentage of success in the two campaigns. Electoral coalitions existed in the previous two decades, were valid only for the campaigns and presented programmatic and ideological variation, in addition to favoring party fragmentation. Federations are permanent organizations that organize elected representatives with ideological consistency. The comparison between the two elections shows a maintenance of the parties with better electoral success, continuity of distances between large and small parties in the Federation and reduction in the number of parties that presented candidates and that elect representatives in 2022 compared to 2018.
