The 2020 Belo Horizonte municipal election took place in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, taking place on 15 November 2020 in a single round. Voters voted to elect the Mayor, the Vice Mayor and 41 city councillors for the administration of the city. The result was a single round victory for incumbent mayor Alexandre Kalil of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), winning 784,307 votes and a share of 63.36% of the popular, defeating state deputy Bruno Engler of the Brazilian Labour Renewal Party (PRTB), who took 123,215 votes and a share of 9.95% of the popular vote.
Originally, the elections would occur on 4 October (first round) and 25 October (second round, if necessary). However, with the growing of cases and deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, the dates were delayed.[1]
Political context and pandemic
[edit]The 2020 municipal elections were directly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the parties to remodel their campaign strategies. The Superior Electoral Court authorized the parties to do digital conventions, in order to avoid crowds.[2] Some parties launched their pre-candidacies through digital media. Besides that, from this election, the Constitutional Amendment 97/2017 took force, prohibiting party coalitions in legislative elections (federal, state or municipal).[3]
