Overview
- The official 2026 campaign is in full swing with parties active on the streets and at events while national and regional candidates press policy pledges to voters.
- Media outlets have auto-published machine‑compiled, state-by-state lists of federal deputy candidates supplied by the TSE, with notably large candidate pools reported in states such as the Federal District and Paraíba and the possibility of later updates if the TSE revises registrations.
- Senate President Davi Alcolumbre kept the chamber’s attendance panel open overnight to preserve quorum for expected votes this week on a provisional measure to remove the so‑called 'taxa das blusinhas' plus PECs on security and the 6x1 work schedule.
- Individual campaigns continued active field work, including Professor Marcus Sodré signing a teaching‑union pact in Florianópolis and presidential candidate Ronaldo Caiado proposing an 'Agiliza SUS' program to cut elective surgery waits and a cap on mandatory spending.
- Local public hiring drives in Ceará opened new contests managed by bodies such as Instituto Consulpam, offering vacancies across education levels with salaries up to R$11,000, underscoring how local administration business continues during the campaign period and may affect municipal staffing.
