Abstract

This article is part of a wider body of research investigating Brazilian local politics. It is based on two objectives: first to describe the presence of parties in Brazilian municipalities by type of organization; second to investigate the political and social profile of local party leaders who were in office as of 2016 and who have run for election in the 2016, 2014 or 2012 elections. To this end we used the registration records of municipal party directories provided by the Superior Electoral Court. The results indicate that municipal party bodies mostly consist of provisional commissions, followed by permanent municipal directories and intervention committees. Regarding profile, leaders are predominantly male, with average schooling, average age of 48 years and low level of political professionalization.
