Brazil elections: Candidate registration deadline set for August 15

Political parties in Brazil are approaching a critical deadline of August 15 at 7:00 PM to officially register their candidates for the 2026 elections. Registration for presidential and vice-presidential candidates is managed by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), while registration for other offices, such as governors, senators, and deputies, is conducted through Regional Electoral Courts (TREs).

Several political movements have finalized their ticket compositions. In Rondônia, the MDB confirmed Pedro Adib as its candidate for governor and Amir Lando as vice-governor. In Sergipe, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) endorsed Rodrigo Valadares and Coronel Rocha for the Senate. In Rio de Janeiro, the PSD launched Leonardo Affonso, director of the National Association of Police Delegates, for the Legislative Assembly.

Local political shifts are also evident, with nearly 70% of Curitiba city councilors seeking different offices in the upcoming elections. In Anápolis, 49 candidates have been confirmed. Additionally, in Bahia, ACM Neto participated in the Bom Jesus da Lapa procession and announced his campaign will officially begin on August 16 in Carinhanha.
