Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo demostrar cómo las  garantías  constitucionales  del  derecho  de  voto y el diseño constitucional del Poder Judicial Electoral han protegido la integridad electoral en Brasil durante el gobierno Bolsonaro (2019-2022). La Constitución de 1988 atrincheró el derecho al voto, amplió el sufragio y adoptó el voto obligatorio, creando prácticas de voto inclusivo que facilitan la participación electoral. Además, la Constitución estableció un Poder Judicial Electoral independiente que opera en todos los niveles de gobernanza electoral, incluida la elaboración de normas. El artículo analiza cómo han evolucionado esas instituciones y el proceso de retroalimentación positiva que reforzó la autoridad del Poder Judicial Electoral como único organismo de gestión electoral en el país. Este proceso también ha sido garantizado por la vinculación institucional del Tribunal Superior  Electoral  con  el  Supremo  Tribunal  Federal,  donde  este  último  actúa  como  punto de veto autorreferente, ratificando las decisiones del Poder Judicial Electoral.

Palabras clave: Voting rights, electoral management, electoral justice, Brazilian election law
