description This paper presents a proposal for measuring the participation and competition in Brazilian local elections, using the Tatu Vanhanen’s Democratization Index, for whom competition and participation are fundamental to analyze democracy in an election. Aggregated data on results of Brazilian local elections between 2008 and 2016 are used in association with the traditional (radio/TV) and digital communication structure in the cities. The hypothesis is that there is an association between intensity of communication and electoral participation. The objective is to analyze how the structure of communication of the electoral advertising affects the participation and competition of the elections, in a time in which there were changes in the electoral laws and a decrease in the traditional communication space. The question guiding the work is: does the visibility of elections caused by changes in electoral rules decrease electoral democracy in these cities? The results show that there are effects in opposite directions.

Este trabajo presenta una propuesta para medir la participación y la competencia en las elecciones brasileñas, utilizando el Índice de Democratización de Tatu Vanhanen, para el cual la competencia y la participación son fundamentales para analizar la democracia en una elección. Se utilizan datos agregados de los resultados electorales en los municipios brasileños entre los años 2008 y 2016, asociados a la estructura de la comunicación tradicional (radio y TV) y digital en las ciudades. La hipótesis es que existe una asociación entre la intensidad de la comunicación y la participación electoral. El objetivo es analizar si la mayor o menor estructura comunicativa de la propaganda electoral afecta a la participación y competencia de las elecciones, en un periodo en el que se produjeron cambios en las leyes electorales y una disminución del espacio de comunicación tradicional. La pregunta que guía el trabajo es: ¿la visibilidad de las elecciones provocada con los cambios en las reglas electorales disminuye la democracia electoral en estos municipios? Los resultados muestran que hay efectos en direcciones opuestas.

Os resultados mostram que há efeitos em direções contrárias. 2021-05-21 2022-03-18T18:33:46Z 2022-03-18T18:33:46Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/14474 10.52780/res.14474 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63401 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/14474/10780 application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 26 n. 50 (2021): Dossiê: Participação política no Brasil: mudanças e permanências nos padrões de ativismo político 1982-4718 1414-0144
