The fifth edition of the Amazon I Want project was officially launched on Wednesday, in Brasília, with a theme that resonates deeply with the current electoral climate: 'Democracy in the Digital Age - The use of new technologies in the electoral process.' The launch was unique as it took place for the first time in Brazil's federal capital, in the Salão Negro of the National Congress, which is a significant venue connecting the House of Deputies and the Senate and is pivotal for the country's strategic decisions.

This year, the project is centered on the impact of digital technologies on democracy, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking among voters in an era where technology intertwines with electoral processes. The event featured a keynote speech from Marcelo Bechara, the director of Institutional Relations in Media and Regulation at Grupo Globo, which underlines the importance of media and technology regulation in shaping the future of political engagement.

The initiative aims to foster a critical awareness among voters as they navigate the complexities of digital technology's role in elections. Given the context of the upcoming elections, discussions like these are vital for understanding how technology influences voter behavior and engagement, and how it shapes the democratic landscape in Brazil as it prepares for elections in 2026.
