backOn March 2, 2026, Brazil’s Superior Electoral Court (TSE) approved a set of 14 resolutions regulating the 2026 general elections, including new provisions addressing the use of artificial intelligence in electoral advertising and digital political communication. The measures were refined following public hearings that generated more than 236 proposals specifically related to AI, highlighting institutional concerns about the potential effects of emerging technologies on the integrity of electoral processes.
Among the key measures adopted is a prohibition on publishing, republishing, or promoting AI-generated or AI-modified content within the 72 hours preceding election day and the 24 hours following the close of voting. The resolutions also require clear disclosure when electoral content is produced using artificial intelligence, prohibit AI systems from recommending or prioritizing candidates, and ban the creation or dissemination of sexually explicit or manipulated content involving candidates, as part of broader efforts to prevent disinformation and political harassment.
