Mato Grosso legislative activities and 2026 elections
Overview
During the first half of 2026, the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso (ALMT) focused on infrastructure, such as the BR-163 highway and a new state railway, and cultural programs like ‘Aula de Cidadania – Por Dentro do Parlamento’.
As the 2026 General Elections approached, the ALMT coordinated with the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-MT) to provide real-time vote counting via TV and Rádio Assembleia. To support this, the IT Secretariat deployed specialized teams to ensure system stability. On October 4, 2026, the first round of elections commenced. Despite initial technical occurrences and arrests for ‘boca de urna’, officials reported the process remained within normal parameters. The ALMT’s digital platforms saw high engagement, with its Instagram reaching 300,000 accounts.
Post-election, the ALMT enters a new phase of female representation with the election of Samantha do Abilio (PL) and Alessandra Ferreira (Podemos) to the House for 2027. Institutional efforts to protect women's rights have also expanded; the ALMT’s Special Women's Prosecutor's Office is collaborating with state and judicial bodies to develop manuals for professionals to prevent the ‘copycat effect’ in media coverage of domestic violence.
Additionally, the Assembly approved Bill No. 175/2025, which establishes guidelines for digital inclusion in indigenous and quilombola communities. To promote legislative transparency, the ALMT also launched the second edition of the ‘Troféu Parlamento’ journalism prize, themed ‘Onde a lei nasce, a cidadania cresce’, to encourage reporting on the impact of public policies.
