Councilwoman loses mandate after party votes were annulled due to gender quota fraud in Marília

The fraud recognized by the courts involved non-compliance with the gender quota, a rule that requires parties and federations to fill at least 30% of their candidacies with women. Due to the decision, all votes received by Mobiliza in the 2024 elections were annulled, which changed the electoral quotient and led to the redistribution of seats in the Chamber. According to the Electoral Court, the retotalization changed only one of the 17 seats in the Legislature. The other councilors elected in 2024 had their mandates maintained.
