Brazilian Senate launches bill to eliminate presidential reelection
Brazil advances a Senate constitutional reform bill that seeks to end presidential reelection starting in 2030
Brazil could eliminate presidential reelection starting in the 2030 elections if a Senate bill seeking constitutional reform on this matter is approved.
The Brazilian Senate proposes ending the reelection of presidents, governors, and mayors to consecutive terms, in addition to “extending terms from four to five years.”
The text of the bill, released last Wednesday, was approved by the Constitution and Justice Committee, which will submit it to the full Senate. If approved, it will be sent to the Chamber of Deputies for final discussion.
“According to the proposal, in the case of the Presidency, the end of reelection would begin to apply starting with the 2030 elections, so the president elected that year would no longer be able to seek another consecutive term.”
Regarding the extension of the presidential, gubernatorial, and mayoral terms to five years, the measure would take effect in 2034. Thus, those elected to these positions would take office in 2035 and serve until 2040, with no immediate reelection possible.
