Case files collapse before the Electoral Tribunal

The Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judiciary experienced a sharp decline in its workload in 2025, primarily driven by the collapse in reconsideration appeals. This phenomenon reveals a structural shift in litigation patterns, whereby most cases that previously overwhelmed the system no longer enter the system or are resolved beforehand, significantly altering the operational dynamics of the judicial body and redistributing the workload toward other types of proceedings. Despite the reduced intake of new cases, the Tribunal maintained a high efficiency rate by resolving nearly the same number of cases as the previous year. However, a considerable portion of these matters concluded without a substantive judgment, through dismissals or settlements. This trend suggests that access to electoral justice is subject to stricter procedural filters or legal strategies that prioritize early resolution of disputes, thereby reducing the number of substantive rulings that define political rights. This information is crucial for transparency and open data analysis, as it illustrates how statistical publication enables understanding not only the volume of justice delivered but also its quality and effectiveness. By making these indicators accessible, accountability and independent study of the electoral judicial system’s efficiency are facilitated. The visibility of this data empowers citizens and researchers to assess whether procedural reforms are achieving a more agile justice system or simply resulting in fewer substantive resolutions.
