Abstract

The article covers the 113 supplementary mayoral elections, conducted in Brazil in the period 2013-2015, with the intention to analyze the behavior of the voters. Compares the abstention index, invalid votes, blank and null with the annulled contention to determine whether the disposition of the electorate remained stable or changed, as well as appreciate how it gave any changes. The results indicate an increase in abstention and null votes, but the reduction of invalid and blank votes. The main sources are the Superior Electoral Court and the G1 portal, to obtain information about the results of elections.
