Since the 2010 elections, there has been an increase in the number of collective candidacies, considered an instrument for expanding the sociopolitical representation of vulnerable and historically marginalized groups. However, to date, there is no specific legislation dealing with the candidacy and functioning of collective mandates. The study investigates the collective mandates as a legal, social and political phenomenon in contemporary times, going through both the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the mandates in force based on the doctrine, as well as the legislative analysis of bills and proposals that aim to discipline the issue in the legal system. national legal system (PL n.1422/2021, PEC n. 379/2017, PL n. 4724/2020 and PL n. 4475/2020). Under the hypothetical-deductive and literature review methods, based on data submitted by Secchi and Leal (2020) the results achieved confirmed the expansion of collective candidacies in national elections and the tendency to increase the number of collective claims from the crisis of political representation of vulnerable groups such as women, black people, indigenous peoples, LGBTQIA+ people and people with disabilities, relating to struggles of social movements and waves of political renewal. Thus, it is crucial that collective mandates be formalized in the text of the law, establishing rules and criteria for candidacies and, in the event of an election, for their functioning.
