Abstract

For there to be a more equitable electoral campaign regarding the dispute for candidates and effective in a democracy, it is necessary that the elections be financed in some way, either with only public values, only private or even in a mixed way as it still is in our country, and especially in the most recent times, the financing of electoral campaigns in Brazil has been the object of heated dissensions, in the most diverse fields, consolidating itself as one of the most challenging themes for the realization of a totally democratic regime. The present study aims to examine the effectiveness of the election campaign financing modality for the elections, especially by the new Special Campaign Funding Fund (FEFC) modality that debuted in the 2018 general elections. the main aspects that have a connection with the financing of the policy were analyzed, in particular, based on the decision leaked in the Declaratory Action of Unconstitutionality 4650-DF by the STF, proposed by the Federal Council of the Bar Association of Brazil and that brought in its bulge the prohibition that private financing in the form of a legal entity could no longer be practiced in favor of electoral campaigns on Brazilian soil, our study will analyze whether this prohibition has brought advances to the electoral financing system. We will also analyze whether the new financing modality is being adequate, including with regard to the affirmative policy of women's participation in politics. The methodology we adopt is the deductive logic, using also statistical, historical and comparative methods as auxiliary.
