The President of the Chamber, Rep. Hugo Motta (R-PB), decided to clarify, with the support of Centrão, the adoption of the mixed voting model for the provinces from the 2030 elections onwards. It will have the advantage of blocking candidates linked to criminal organizations.

This is a scam. District voting, whether simple or mixed, will have the same effect as Saturn’s rings in containing the advance of organized crime in politics. What is meant by the current proposal is to elect candidates without a vote, under the auspices of party leaders or anyone else.

Professor Delvim Neto knew that what was not achieved under Institutional Law No. 5 (1968-1978) would never happen. For example, charging annual fees at public universities or voting in provinces. He has been in politics for more than half a century.
At first glance, this type of voting seems to bring elected officials closer to their voters. It divides the states into provinces, each of which elects a representative. Well, the system works in England and the United States, but one question remains: who will draw the counties? Taking the electoral map of Rio, it is possible to create a district in which Barra da Tijuca will swallow Rocinha. With another determination, Parra will be swallowed up by the voters of Cidade de Dios.
This is the difficulty of voting in simple areas, such as the American vote. But the people of Centralo want a mixed system in which the number of the closed list appears, and a portion of the bench is elected based on the leaders’ choices.
If organized crime can infiltrate the existing system, your life will obviously be easier with the new development. The issue of public security has become a wasteland where crazy ideas are raised. After all, when you describe a killing as a “massive operation,” anything can happen.
Simple district voting is dangerous and worthy of discussion. The mixed model carries serious weaknesses, as is the case with lists, where candidates will be elected without voting. In theory, they will elect figures with great value and few votes. In practice, they will be able to elect advisors from criminal factions, without value or voice.
Today, senators have alternates, often drawn from campaign funders. Last July, businessman Perino Barbosa Chavez Pinto, second deputy to Senator Davi Alcolombre (Uniao-AP), suffered the embarrassment of finding himself involved in a federal police investigation. In 2018, businessman Joel Malucelli, former deputy to Senator Alvaro Dias, was arrested. If the bench spree has learned anything, it has helped expose the danger of electing those who sign the checks.
The project creating a mixed district system was approved in the Senate in 2017 and has been in a Senate committee ever since. It’s about waking him up and guiding him towards final approval. All in the darkness of Brasilia, with the firepower of Centrao.
The project, approved in 2017, was written by then-Senator Jose Serra. As a candidate for the position of representative in the 2022 elections, he received 89 thousand votes, but was not elected.
