Brazil 2026 election – conventions, security, campaign

Overview

Party conventions run from 20 July to 5 August, during which candidates must file registrations by 15 August and the official campaign opens on 16 August. Free electoral broadcasting begins on 28 August and runs through 1 October, with bans on outdoor ads, telemarketing and AI‑generated misleading content, and a 30 %–70 % gender‑quota for proportional lists. The first televised gubernatorial debate in Rio Grande do Norte is set for 9 August, with a parallel debate in Paraíba and a Senate debate on 31 August. President Luiz Inácio Lula confirmed former São Paulo governor Geraldo Alckmin as his vice‑presidential running mate and announced rallies in São Paulo and São Bernardo do Campo. The first‑round vote is scheduled for 4 October, with a possible runoff on 25 October. The Federal Police’s R$ 95 million security operation, activated on 20 July, can protect up to ten presidential candidates using armored vehicles, anti‑drone systems and facial‑recognition tools. Participation is optional; Flávio Bolsonaro retains his own detail while Lula remains under joint Federal Police and Institutional Security Office protection. In Amazonas, pre‑candidates David Almeida pledged to “zero” the SISREG health‑service waiting list, while Senate candidate Omar Aziz called for new hospitals, maternity centres and a state‑wide drug‑rehabilitation program. The Workers’ Party named former minister Patrus Ananias as its Minas Gerais gubernatorial candidate, underscoring the state’s electoral weight. A July poll showed 87 % of voters would not join political WhatsApp groups, indicating limited reach for that channel. Flávio Bolsonaro attacked Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes over new visitation bans, promised amnesty for 8 January protestors, and launched senatorial pre‑campaigns. Novo Party, now with about 83 000 members, is negotiating a coalition with the Liberal Party in Paraíba and warned of the electoral‑barrier clause that could cut its public funding.
