According to data from the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) candidacy system, out of the 20,900 applications submitted nationwide, some 20,700 have already been reviewed—representing nearly 99% of the total.

Of the rejected registrations, 335 were deemed definitively inadmissible, while another 869 could still be challenged through appeals to higher electoral court bodies.

The primary reason for the rejections is a failure to meet formal requirements established by electoral law.

Other reasons include a lack of eligibility criteria and irregularities regarding party conventions.

Press reports noted that candidacy registration is the stage where electoral authorities verify whether those aspiring to elected office meet the requirements set by the Constitution and the law.

This process involves reviewing documentation and eligibility criteria, as well as addressing any formal challenges.

The elections will determine the president, vice president, and governors, as well as 54 of the 81 senators and members of the federal, state, and district legislatures.

On September 15, the TSE reported that it had ruled on 99,02% of registration applications, with 205 cases still pending review.

Thirteen registration applications were initially submitted for the presidency; 12 candidacies were approved after the rejection of the ticket led by Pablo Marçal and Leonardo Avalanche of the Brazilian Labor Renewal Party.

The Court unanimously ruled that Marçal failed to prove his affiliation with the party within the legal deadline and further noted that he did not meet one of the eligibility requirements. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Flavio Bolsonaro, Ronaldo Caiado, Rui Costa, Samara Martins, Romeu Zema, Hertz Dias, Edmilson Costa, Renan Santos, Wilson Grassi, Clariana Barão and Augusto Cury appear as candidates for the top position.
