Direito eleitoral e meio ambiente : alternativas para uma propaganda eleitoral sustentável no Brasil

Abstract

This paper analyzes the interaction between electoral law and environmental preservation in Brazil, highlighting legislative developments and court decisions to promote more sustainable electoral propaganda. The study focuses on the environmental impacts caused by electoral practices, such as noise, visual and atmospheric pollution, and proposes solutions to balance democratic freedom of expression with environmental protection. The research problem investigated revolved around the question: taking into account the rules governing the Brazilian electoral system and the legal protection of the environment consolidated by the 1988 Federal Constitution, what are the responses of the Electoral Justice to cases of environmental pollution in electoral propaganda and what regulatory advances are needed to guarantee sustainable electoral propaganda in Brazil? Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach, based on bibliographical and documentary research, with analysis of the case law of the Electoral Courts on the subject of environmental pollution and sustainable advertising. The study shows that, despite legislative advances, there are still gaps that need to be overcome in order to bring the electoral process into line with environmental sustainability requirements.
