The Câmara Municipal de Ponta Grossa marked for next Tuesday (17), at 8am, the election of the new Executive Board of the Legislative for the biennium 2027-2028. The convocation was made official by means of Act No. 98/2026, signed by the current president of the House, Councilman Julio Kuller, and published in the Official Journal of the Municipality on Thursday (12).

The election will define the councilors responsible for the administrative and political conduct of the House over the next two years. In addition to the office of President, the Vice-President and the occupants of the functions of first, second and third secretaries will be chosen.

According to the document, the vote will take place in a special session, following the rules provided for in the Municipal Organic Law and the Rules of Procedure of Câmara Municipal.

Registration ends on Sunday

Councilors interested in competing for any of the five positions of the Executive Board must register their candidacies by 8 a.m. on Sunday, November 15, respecting the deadline of 48 hours before the election.

Registrations can be made in person at Câmara Municipal, during the administrative period, from 12:30 to 18:30, or electronically, by e-mail [email protected] and WhatsApp (42) 99919-0442, made available by the Legislative Process Directorate.

The registration of applications will be under the responsibility of the First Secretariat, together with the Legislative Process Directorate.

The act also establishes rules for the organization of registrations, including the distribution of passwords if any candidate appears within the deadline, but is unable to complete the procedure due to congestion in attendance.

What will be the election of the Executive Board

The selection of the members of the Executive Board will be made by nominal and individual vote or by the electronic panel of the Chamber.

The vote will begin as president and will continue as vice president, first secretary, second secretary and third secretary.

To win in the first round, the candidate will need to win the absolute majority of the votes. If no competitor reaches this number, a second vote will be held between the two most voted candidates for the respective position.

In the second round, the one who receives the most votes will be elected. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaking criterion will be the vote obtained by the candidates in the last municipal election.

New leaders take office in January 2027

The councillors elected during the special session on November 17 will take office on January 1, 2027, when the mandate of the new Executive Board will begin, which will remain at the head of the Legislative until the end of 2028.

The election is considered an important step in the political organization of Câmara Municipal, since the Executive Board is responsible for conducting legislative work, coordinating administrative activities and institutionally representing the Poder Legislativo.

The call was published in the edition no 4750 of the Official Electronic Journal of the Municipality of Ponta Grossa, on Thursday (12).
