Three cities in Ceará, Brazil, are holding supplementary elections to choose new mayors and deputy mayors after previous officials were removed from office.
On Sunday, three municipalities in Ceará, Brazil, will hold supplementary elections to elect new mayors and deputy mayors following the disqualification of their 2024 officials by the Electoral Court. The affected cities are Choró, Senador Sá, and Potiretama, where the previous leaders faced legal issues that led to the cancellation of their mandates.
The supplementary elections were scheduled by the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará (TRE-CE), and the newly elected officials will serve until December 31, 2028. Voting will extend from 8 AM to 5 PM, and registered voters as of October 1, 2025, will be eligible to participate. Political conventions to select candidates occurred by January 25, with electoral campaigning starting shortly after on January 28.
This election reflects the ongoing legal and political dynamics within the state, emphasizing the importance of electoral integrity and the rigorous processes involved in maintaining it. The outcomes of these elections will not only determine local governance but also influence political stability and public trust in the electoral system.
