Schedule
Voters will choose mayors, vice mayors, and city councillors of 5,570 municipalities in the country. Party conventions to nominate candidates should take place from 20 July to 5 August.[2]
On 16 August, the electoral campaign starts. Free advertisements on radio and television begin on 30 August. According to current electoral law, the two-round system - if the most voted candidate doesn't get 50% +1 of valid votes –is only available in cities with more than 200,000 voters.[2]
In 2024, nearly 154 million people were eligible to vote –of which 20 million were not required to, according to the Superior Electoral Court, which represented a 5.4% increase from the previous municipal elections in 2020.[3]
70-year-old or older people, who were not required to vote, accounted for 15,000,000 voters, that is, 10% of total voters, the highest such figure in 16 years in Brazil.[4]
