Eleição suplementar e a mitigação dos prazos de desincompatibilização e filiação partidária

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis aims to identify the concept of a supplementary election and its causes, as well as to discuss the competence of the Electoral Court to mitigate the legally established deadlines, especially those related to disqualification from public office and party affiliation. Considering that such elections are called on an extraordinary basis, within a period shorter than the six months required by law for these prerequisites, the study investigates the legal possibility of relaxing these deadlines. To this end, an analysis of precedents from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) and the Federal Supreme Court (STF) was conducted to verify whether the acts issued by the Electoral Court to regulate the supplementary election possess sufficient force and authority to relax or override the deadlines established by constitutional and infra-constitutional legal norms.
