The Brazilian People's Congress is comprised of 300 deputies, returned from 3 constituencies.


A functional constituency is a special interest group involved in the electoral process. They were introduced to give a voice to professional organizations, civil society groups, charities, unions, NGOs, think tanks, and other public institutions. Eligible voters in a functional constituency are comprised of all registered members of the represented group or body. Each functional constituency returns 1 deputy during each election. The method by which a deputy is returned is determined by respective constituency. Smaller constituencies may opt for consensus-decision making, while larger constituencies hold internal votes.

Line 180: Line 182:


The PFT contains 30 questions, with 10 questions for each component. Voters are required to correctly answer at least 15 questions in total. Candidates standing for election are required to attain the same score, with the added caveat that they correctly answer at least 5 questions for each of the test's components. Furthermore, candidates are required to take the PFT every time they contest in a Federal election. Failure to pass muster bars one from voting or standing for election until they retake the test and pass. If one is not satisfied with their score they may appeal the result to the Ministry of Education (now the Ministry of Human Capital). The test and any appeals are free to take.

Electoral system

The Brazilian People's Congress is comprised of 300 deputies, returned from 3 constituencies.

A functional constituency is a special interest group involved in the electoral process. They were introduced to give a voice to professional organizations, civil society groups, charities, unions, NGOs, think tanks, and other public institutions. Eligible voters in a functional constituency are comprised of all registered members of the represented group or body. Each functional constituency returns 1 deputy during each election. The method by which a deputy is returned is determined by respective constituency. Smaller constituencies may opt for consensus-decision making, while larger constituencies hold internal votes.

Council appointees are directly appointed by the Brazilian Restoration and Salvation Council (BRSC).

An electoral district is a geographical subdivision created to represent the local population. Their original boundaries were drawn to ensure relative parity in population between one another (~2 million residents). Eligible voters in an electoral district are comprised of local residents who pass all three components of the public functions test. Each electoral district returns 1 deputy during each election.

The public functions test (PFT) is a cognitive test which all electors and candidates must pass before they may vote or stand for federal elections. It was introduced on 11 August 2023, and is comprised of three components: drawing inferences (DI), recognizing arguments (RA), and problem solving (PS).

  • The DI component presents the test-taker with a body of text and a statement. Test-takers are asked to evaluate the body of text and see if the statement logically follows from it.
  • The RA component presents the test-taker with a body of text and a statement. Test-takers are asked to determine if the statement offers a logical argument in support or against the body of text.
  • The PS component consists of various multiple choice questions which tests a test-taker's understanding of basic arithmetic operations, pattern recognition, general knowledge, and proofreading.

The PFT contains 30 questions, with 10 questions for each component. Voters are required to correctly answer at least 15 questions in total. Candidates standing for election are required to attain the same score, with the added caveat that they correctly answer at least 5 questions for each of the test's components. Furthermore, candidates are required to take the PFT every time they contest in a Federal election. Failure to pass muster bars one from voting or standing for election until they retake the test and pass. If one is not satisfied with their score they may appeal the result to the Ministry of Education (now the Ministry of Human Capital). The test and any appeals are free to take.
