Various municipal and state-level councils in Brazil have undergone transitions or opened processes for the 2026–2028 term.

In Araraquara, a Municipal Council of Culture was formed through a public assembly to assist in developing democratic public policies. In Mato Grosso do Sul, the State Council for the Defense of Human Rights inaugurated new members, including representatives from government institutions and civil society organizations focused on women, trans individuals, child protection, and people with disabilities.

Concurrently, the municipalities of Botucatu and Ubatuba have initiated registration and election processes for their Municipal Health Councils to facilitate social participation in monitoring public health policies and strengthening the Unified Health System (SUS).

Recent developments include the inauguration of 68 council members in Nilópolis for the 2027-2028 biennium, covering the Municipal Councils for Children and Adolescents, Food and Nutritional Security, and Social Assistance.
