O contencioso eleitoral como elemento de qualidade da democracia: entre Shakespeare e Agatha Christie.

Abstract

The present work aims to evaluate how the electoral litigation system in Brazil operates, favored by the adopted institutional governance model. Through a bibliographical review of political rights, the quality of democracy and the Brazilian electoral governance model, especially in the field of rule adjudication, some facets of our electoral dispute system are pointed out. The history and attributions of the Electoral Justice, the ways litigation takes the place are described throughout the perspective that elections have to occur between pillars of integrity by fairness and liberty, to finally ensure the legitimacy of democratical representation.
