Brazil: Bill establishing Brazilian electoral rules and electoral procedural rules (Complementary Bill No. 112) was introduced to Chamber of Deputies

On 3 August 2021, the Bill establishing Brazilian electoral rules and electoral procedural rules (Complementary Bill No. 112) was introduced to the Chamber of Deputies. The Bill consolidates the electoral legislation into a single, unified code, integrating both material and procedural norms while incorporating provisions on the use of electronic voting, vote counting, and auditing. The Bill requires the oversight of funds and content disseminated on social media, mandating digital platforms to provide data necessary to monitor campaign financing and messaging. Additionally, social media and messaging platforms must publish accessible policies on content moderation related to elections, with a legal mechanism allowing for judicial review of content removals that violate electoral rules.
