The Chamber of Deputies has called for the early presence of parliamentarians in Brasília on Monday, September 4, 2023. This is a departure from the usual practice of charging their presence only from Tuesdays onwards. The move aims to optimize the legislative work of the House and ensure the deliberation of crucial issues for the country before the holiday.

Among the scheduled agendas are time-sensitive provisional measures, including one that established the Desenrola Brasil program, the taxation of sports betting, and another related to the Pact for the Resumption of Works and Services in the field of education. Additionally, a forthcoming topic for consideration is the vote on a bill that sets limits on interest rates for revolving credit cards.
On Wednesday, September 6, 2023, the mini-electoral reform project is expected to be introduced, with approval anticipated on the same day by the working group created to amend Brazilian electoral legislation. Parliamentarians’ aspiration is to vote on this matter during plenary sessions in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate and have the legislation approved by October 5, 2023, ensuring its applicability in the 2024 municipal elections.
A closed meeting among the members of the mini-electoral reform working group was scheduled for Monday, September 4, 2023 to discuss the themes to be included in the project. The rapporteur, Federal Deputy Rubens Pereira Júnior (PT-MA), has pledged to avoid contentious issues or those likely to provoke strong opposition. Instead, the focus is on making “minor adjustments” to enhance the electoral process. These adjustments encompass areas such as party federation, electoral propaganda, accountability, campaign financing, and addressing political violence against women, as outlined by the rapporteur.
