Parties have a deadline from March 3 to 8 to define candidates in Oiapoque, Amapá

The Electoral Justice has set the period from March 3 to 8 for party conventions to nominate candidates for mayor and deputy mayor in Oiapoque, Amapá.

The Electoral Justice in Brazil has confirmed that the period for party conventions in Oiapoque, located in the northern state of Amapá, will take place from March 3 to March 8. During these conventions, political parties will nominate their candidates for the positions of mayor and deputy mayor in anticipation of upcoming elections. This decision comes amid the backdrop of a need for a new electoral process in the municipality.

Starting February 26, political parties can engage in internal advertising to promote their candidates at conventions. This internal campaign can include banners and posters placed near the convention venue, although there are restrictions on using radio, television, or billboards, ensuring that all promotional materials must be removed immediately after the event concludes. These regulations are designed to uphold transparency and equity within the internal decision-making processes of the parties involved.

The established guidelines are pursuant to specific electoral laws designed to maintain fairness in the nomination process, such as Law No. 9.504/1997 and TSE Resolution No. 23.610/2019. The supplementary election in Oiapoque is particularly notable following the disqualification of the former mayor, Breno Almeida, whose mandate was revoked, showcasing the current political dynamics in the region and the legal frameworks governing electoral conduct.
