Brazilian electoral court media regulation rulings

Overview

In Brazil, regional electoral courts have issued several rulings regarding the use of media and social media platforms during election campaigns.

In Minas Gerais, the Electoral Court ordered the suspension of Governor Mateus Simões’s Threads and Instagram accounts, determining they were not included in his official candidacy registration and could be used for propaganda without required oversight. In Alagoas, Judge Klever Rêgo Loureiro suspended the programming of nine radio stations and ten social media profiles until the first round of voting on October 4, following allegations of favoritism toward candidate JHC.

Recent judicial developments have further clarified restrictions on digital content. In Paraná, Senate candidate Deltan Dallagnol regained access to his Instagram profile, though the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) maintains a prohibition on his campaign activities due to allegations of irregular electoral propaganda. In Alagoas, the TRE-AL upheld the stance that total account suspensions are “disproportionate,” while also ordering the removal of online content concerning the alleged resignation of Senate candidate substitute Jurandir Boia, citing a lack of formal documentation.

Further regulatory actions include an order from the TRE-DF for Victor Jansen (PL) to cease the paid promotion of a video targeting Senator Leila do Vôlei (PDT), which was classified as negative propaganda intended to encourage non-voting.
