2011 Pará State Division Plebiscite
The plebiscite about the division of the state of Pará occurred in the referred state on 11 December 2011, being considered the largest regional plebiscite in the Brazilian history, having as proposal the division of the state in three: Pará, Carajás and Tapajós. Plebiscite development When it was approved, a doubt has risen about if it would be held only in the regions of Carajás and Tapajós, or in the entire state of Pará. It had occurred due to the question of the constitutionality of Law no. 9709/1998. The law predicts the participation of the statewide population in plebiscites to decide divisions of territories for the creation of other states. On 24 August, it was decided that the whole state of Pará would be consulted. It means that there should be support from the majority of the population of the state for the creation of the new states. In the calendar defined by the Superior Electoral Court, the 2 September was the limit date for members of the Legislative ...

Chamber Of Deputies (Brazil)
The Chamber of Deputies ( pt, Câmara dos Deputados) is a federal legislative body and the lower house of the National Congress of Brazil. The chamber comprises 513 deputies, who are elected by proportional representation to serve four-year terms. The current President of the Chamber is the Deputy Arthur Lira ( PP- AL), who was elected on 1 February 2021. Structure The number of deputies elected is proportional to the size of the population of the respective state (or of the Federal District) as of 1994. However, no delegation can be made up of less than eight or more than seventy seats. Thus the least populous state elects eight federal deputies and the most populous elects seventy. These restrictions favour the smaller states at the expense of the more populous states and so the size of the delegations is not exactly proportional to population. Elections to the Chamber of Deputies are held every four years, with all seats up for election. Federal representation A censu ...

Referendums In Brazil
A referendum (plural: referendums or less commonly referenda) is a direct vote by the electorate on a proposal, law, or political issue. This is in contrast to an issue being voted on by a representative. This may result in the adoption of a new policy or specific law, or the referendum may be only advisory. In some countries, it is synonymous with or commonly known by other names including plebiscite, votation, popular consultation, ballot question, ballot measure, or proposition.
