The Goiânia mayoral election of 2012 was held on 7 October as part of the municipal elections in Brazil. Then incumbent mayor, Paulo Garcia, elected as the running mate of Iris Rezende in the previous election, ran against seven other candidates and was re-elected with more than 57% of the valid votes. On the same date, voters also chose their 35 representatives for the Municipal Chamber (Câmara Municipal). The elected mayor, deputy-mayor and aldermen will serve from 1 January 2013 until 31 December 2016, when their terms will officially expire.

Paulo Garcia Brazilian politician

Paulo de Siqueira Garcia was a Brazilian neurosurgeon, physician and politician from the Workers' Party. He was the mayor of Goiânia from 1 April 2010, when then-mayor Iris Rezende resigned in order to run for Governor at the 2010 election, until his death.

A running mate is a person running together with another person on a joint ticket during an election. The term is most often used in reference to the person in the subordinate position but can also properly be used when referring to both candidates, such as by saying Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla, and Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, were running mates in relation to the presidential elections held in Indonesia in 2014 and Kenya in 2013 respectively.

Although he faced seven contestants, Garcia found no major problems in being re-elected in the first round. He took advantage from the outcome of the Monte Carlo Operation, led by the Federal Police (Polícia Federal PF) on early 2012. Until then, the candidate backed by Governor Marconi Perillo, then-Senator Demóstenes Torres, was the favorite in the opinion polls. PF's investigations, however, revealed that Perillo was an accessary to mobster Carlinhos Cachoeira and that Torres lobbied on his behalf at the Senate. Allegations of corruption undermined the intention of Perillo's Brazilian Social Democracy Party (Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira PSDB) to launch Congressman Leonardo Vilela, also associated with Cachoeira, or to support Torres, which was later impeached for his affiliation with the offender. Therefore, Perillo decided to support Congressman Jovair Arantes, that was hampered by the unpopularity of the latter.

Two-round system voting system used to elect a single winner where a second round of voting is used if no candidate wins an absolute majority in the first round

The two-round system is a voting method used to elect a single winner, where the voter casts a single vote for their chosen candidate. However, if no candidate receives the required number of votes, then those candidates having less than a certain proportion of the votes, or all but the two candidates receiving the most votes, are eliminated, and a second round of voting is held.

Marconi Perillo Brazilian politician

Marconi Ferreira Perillo Júnior is a Brazilian politician, affiliate to the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB). He is the current governor of the state of Goiás and he is on his third mandate.

Federal Senate upper house of the National Congress of Brazil

The Federal Senate is the upper house of the National Congress of Brazil. Created by the first Constitution of the Brazilian Empire in 1824, it was initially similar to the United Kingdom's House of Lords. Since the Proclamation of the Republic in 1889 the Federal Senate has resembled the United States Senate.

Electorate

In the 2012 election, 850,777 people were eligible to vote in Goiânia, [2] which corresponded to 64.5% of the city's population, according to estimates from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE). [3] The city is divided into ten precincts – organized similarly to the city's official subdivision –, 2,909 voting rooms and 359 polling places. [4] In 2012, biometric voting machines – which identifies voters by their fingerprints – were introduced in Goiânia. From 11 April 2011 to 23 March 2012, voters were called upon by the Regional Electoral Court (Tribunal Regional Eleitoral de Goiás – TRE) to register their fingerprints. [5] By the end of the period, more than 80% of voters had made the registration. [6] The deadline was later extended until 9 May 2012. [2] The refusal to register resulted in the cancellation of the voter registration card and in a fine ranging from 3% to 10% of the minimum wage. [6] Without the card, a regular Brazilian is unable to get a passport, to retire from the Social Security, to enroll in public schools or universities, to obtain a loan from state-run banks or to become a civil servant. [5] According to TRE-GO, 123,000 voter cards were canceled in Goiânia due to the lack of fingerprint registration. [2]

Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics Brazils principal government institution in charge of statistics and census data

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics or IBGE is the agency responsible for official collection of statistical, geographic, cartographic, geodetic and environmental information in Brazil. IBGE performs a decennial national census; questionnaires account for information such as age, household income, literacy, education, occupation and hygiene levels.

A voting machine is a machine used to register and tabulate votes. The first voting machines were mechanical but it is increasingly more common to use electronic voting machines. Traditionally, a voting machine has been defined by the mechanism the system uses to cast votes and further categorized by the location where the system tabulates the votes.

Fingerprint biometric identifier

A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger. The recovery of fingerprints from a crime scene is an important method of forensic science. Fingerprints are easily deposited on suitable surfaces by the natural secretions of sweat from the eccrine glands that are present in epidermal ridges. These are sometimes referred to as "Chanced Impressions".

Context

On 6 October 2008, then mayor and former Governor Iris Rezende, of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro – PMDB) was re-elected with 74% of the valid votes. [7] His approval rating was of 81% at the time and he became the first mayor of Goiânia to be re-elected. [7] On 1 April 2010, Rezende resigned from the office in order to run for Governor at the 2010 elections. [8] Deputy-mayor Paulo Garcia, of the Workers' Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores – PT), a party opposed to irismo until they reconciled to form Rezende's electoral coalition in 2008 [7] took office. [8] Rezende lost the gubernatorial race to former Governor and then-Senator Marconi Perillo, of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira – PSDB), elected on the second round with 53% of the valid votes. [9]

Workers Party (Brazil) Brazilian political party

The Workers' Party is a democratic socialist political party in Brazil. Launched in 1980, it is one of the largest movements of Latin America. PT governed at the federal level in a coalition government with several other parties from 1 January 2003 to 31 August 2016. After the 2002 parliamentary election, PT became the largest party in the Chamber of Deputies and the largest in the Federal Senate for the first time ever. With the highest approval rating in the history of the country, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is PT's most prominent member. His successor Dilma Rousseff, also a member of PT, took office on 1 January 2011.

The Brazilian Social Democracy Party, also known as the Brazilian Social Democratic Party or the Party of Brazilian Social Democracy, is a centrist political party in Brazil. As the third largest party in the National Congress, the PSDB was the main opposition party against the left-wing Workers' Party (PT) administrations of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff from 2003 to 2016.

Former Senator Demostenes Torres was the favorite candidate for mayor until the disclosure of his relation with Cachoeira. Demostenes torres senado.JPG
Former Senator Demóstenes Torres was the favorite candidate for mayor until the disclosure of his relation with Cachoeira.

Shortly before the definition of candidates for mayor, on 29 February 2012, criminal offender Carlinhos Cachoeira, which profited between 1 and 3 million reais (around 0.5 to 1.5 million dollars) per month [10] through the illegal jogo do bicho was arrested in Goiânia as a result of the Monte Carlo Operation, led by the Federal Police (Polícia Federal – PF). [11] Wiretaps revealed close ties between Cachoeira and then-Senator Demóstenes Torres, from the Democrats (Democratas – DEM). [12] Torres lobbied in Cachoeira's behalf at the National Congress. [13] In order to avoid an expulsion from his party, Torres asked to be disaffiliated from DEM. [14] Before the outbreak of the scandal, he was the favorite candidate of the population of Goiânia for mayor, with 43.4% of the voting intention. [15] Two weeks prior to the Monte Carlo Operation, Torres announced that he would not run in order not to undermine the opposition to Dilma Rousseff's administration in the Congress. [16] Torres later became the second member in the history of the Senate to be impeached, becoming ineligible until 2027. [17] Another pre-candidate harmed by his relationship with Cachoeira was alderman Elias Vaz, from the far-left Socialism and Liberty Party (Partido Socialismo e Liberdade – PSOL), which had between 14% and 18% of the voting intention. [18] In one of the wiretaps, he calls Cachoeira "my comrade". [19] In late June, Vaz announced that he would not run for mayor in order to try to keep his seat at the Municipal Chamber. [20]

The Democrats is a political party in Brazil. It was founded in 1985 under the name of Liberal Front Party from a dissidence of the defunct PDS, successor to the ARENA, the official party during the military dictatorship of 1964–1985. It changed to its current name in 2007. The original name reflected the party's support of free market policies, rather than the identification with international liberal parties. Instead, the party affiliated itself to the international federations of Christian democratic (CDI) and conservative parties (IDU). The Democrats' identification number is 25 and its colors are green, blue, and white.

National Congress of Brazil Congres of Brasil

The National Congress of Brazil is the legislative body of Brazil's federal government. Unlike the state Legislative Assemblies and Municipal Chambers, the Congress is bicameral, composed of the Federal Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. The Congress meets annually in Brasília, from 2 February to 27 July and from 1 August to 22 December.

Dilma Rousseff 36th President of Brazil

Dilma Vana Rousseff is a Brazilian economist and politician who served as the 36th President of Brazil, holding the position from 2011 until her impeachment and removal from office on 31 August 2016. She was the first woman to hold the Brazilian presidency and had previously served as Chief of Staff to former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from 2005 to 2010.

In addition to local and federal lawmakers, wiretaps also revealed Cachoeira's influence in the state government of Goiás. The offender paid the expenses of Marconi Perillo's gubernatorial campaign and bought a house that belonged to the latter (the same place where he was arrested by the PF), arranging for the purchase money to be delivered at the Emerald Palace (Palácio das Esmeraldas), seat of the state government. [21] [22] There is also evidence that Eliane Pinheiro, former chief of staff to the governor, has delivered classified information to Cachoeira's group and that Edivaldo Cardoso de Paula, former president of the State Traffic Department of Goiás (Departamento Estadual de Trânsito – Detran-GO), was nominated to the position at Cachoeira's request. [22] After the media disclosed the ties between Perillo and Cachoeira, the Governor faced several protests in the streets of Goiânia [23] and reached high levels of unpopularity, facing a disapproval rating of 74.4% in Goiânia on late July. [24] According to Serpes institute, 26% of voters would consider the scandal when choosing their mayoral candidate. [11]

Federal deputy, Jovair Arantes, of the Brazilian Labour Party (Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro – PTB), which was cited by members of Cachoeira's group in wiretaps, [11] was chosen as the candidate of the Marconists and had the highest rejection rate throughout the campaign. [25] [26] When asked by the press about his relationship with Cachoeira, Arantes replied: "I asked for a donation for my campaign; if he has committed a crime, it's not of my business". [27] Cornered by the accusations, Marconists reacted. They launched an investigative committee at the Legislative Assembly (Assembleia Legislativa de Goiás – Alego) in order to investigate the relations between municipal politicians and the offender. It approved disclosing the banking, income tax and telephone data of mayor Garcia and former mayor Rezende, while it refused to summon both Perillo and Cachoeira. [28] According to political analyst Vassil Oliveira, their strategy was to use the investigative committee to wear out Paulo and, thus, consolidate Arantes. [29] Nevertheless, Garcia and Rezende filed a collective lawsuit against Alego; they claimed that it does not compete to the Assembly the investigation of contracts which are not funded by the state of Goiás. [30] A week after the election, judge Luis Eduardo de Souza granted an injunction overturning Alego's intention of disclosing the personal data of both Garcia and Rezende. [31]

Candidates

The 2012 election was contested by eight candidates, tying with 2004 as the election with the largest number of candidates in the history of Goiânia. The candidates were: incumbent mayor Paulo Garcia of the centre-left coalition Goiânia, Sustainable City; federal deputy Jovair Arantes of the centre-right Marconist coalition; state deputy Isaura Lemos; state deputy and TV and radio presenter Elias Júnior; alderman Simeyzon Silveira; business manager José Netho; lawyer Rubens Donizzeti; and history teacher Reinaldo Pantaleão.
