Rio de Janeiro judicial suspension of TCE-RJ selection

Overview

A judge from the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice has suspended an accelerated procedure initiated by the Legislative Assembly of Rio (Alerj) to select a new counselor for the State Court of Accounts (TCE-RJ). The injunction halts Resolution 1.694/2026, which aimed to reduce the registration period from 30 days to three business days and eliminate certain appeal stages.

The decision follows a popular action citing the risk of “irreversible damage,” noting that the lifetime nature of the counselor position would make it difficult to annul a potentially illegal appointment. The vacancy was created following the removal of Domingos Brazão from office.
