      The 11 candidates running for President of the Republic in this year's elections have informed the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) that they expect to spend a combined R$ 916,7 million during the election campaign. This figure represents the spending limit they intend to have, information that candidates running for all positions are required to provide to the Electoral Court when registering their candidacies.

      According to the Election Law (Law 9.504/97), candidates are required to inform the Electoral Court of their campaign spending limits, due to the absence of a specific law to limit them. If a candidate does not respect the established limit, they may be fined five to ten times the amount exceeded.

      The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) had considered limiting donations from private companies by prohibiting them, in a lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB). In April, however, after a majority was formed in favor of the restriction, Justice Gilmar Mendes requested a review of the case, and the judgment was interrupted indefinitely.
