This paper aims to present a summary involving the electoral system in Brazil, with its implicit and explicit casuisms that somehow end up compromising the real intention of the voters and, consequently, their representativeness. However, the practice of acts that tarnished the first elections in Brazil has a relevant factor to improve the system and institutions. In the same sense, the political associations in Brazil, denominated political parties, followed the same path involving the electoral system, serving as an amalgam to legitimize the political majority of the time to the detriment of voters. Finally, no electoral political system is immune to defect and is deserving improvements, which is why young and exuberant Brazilian democracy is developing.
