Brazil's electoral judiciary is actively engaged in multiple high-profile candidacy disputes. Supreme Court Justice Kassio Nunes Marques has suspended a lower court ruling barring Deltan Dallagnol's Senate candidacy, allowing his votes to be counted pending full court review. Concurrently, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) has ruled to nullify votes for gubernatorial candidate Garotinho, though the final impact on election outcomes remains subject to further judicial review.

Why it matters: These judicial interventions could significantly alter election results and perceptions of electoral integrity in Brazil.
