247 – A Datafolha poll indicates, for the first time, that majority support for the institution of reelection has disappeared.
Currently, only 30% are in favor – compared to 65% in 2005, on the eve of the election year in which then-President Lula was running for a second term. Those against, however, jumped from 39% to 67% since the last study.
In the Chamber of Deputies, representatives approved a bill that eliminates reelection by a vote of 452 to 19. For the new law to take effect, it needs to pass another vote in the Chamber and then be approved by the Senate.
Regarding the change in the term length of politicians, the majority (53%) said they were in favor of five years for all elected positions, as approved by the Chamber.
Datafolha also indicates that rejection of mandatory voting has hit a record high in the series of surveys on the subject.
