The main objective of this project is to analyze the participation of women, as candidates, in the Brazilian electoral process from the redemocratization period to the 2024 election. Given the historical characteristics of women’s participation in Brazil and the body of studies already developed at LEPP/UFS on the political groupings of Sergipe and their transformations in recent years, as well as the available evidence and research since redemocratization, the project seeks to investigate the relationships between women’s entry and permanence in politics and the processes of recomposition of alliance systems among the main political groupings and leaders in Sergipe. The aim, therefore, is to demonstrate that the asymmetries in the construction of candidacies, in access to resources for electoral competition, and in electoral success rates—as well as the compliance of party lists, campaign financing, and practices with current legislation—are closely linked to the dynamics of structuring and reconfiguring family-based politics in Sergipe.
