About this election
The voting system
The 513 deputies are elected for four-year terms by open-list proportional representation, with each state and the Federal District forming one multi-member constituency apportioned by population. For 2022 a new rule allowed parties to form federations that act as a single party for several years, designed to curb fragmentation; the PT, for example, ran within the "Brazil of Hope" federation alongside the Communist Party and the Greens. A rising electoral threshold also gradually squeezes the smallest parties out of the chamber.
