RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS
One can increasingly observe the mobilization of religious organizations to influence politics and law, thus making use of institutional instruments to participate in power. This work aims to investigate the legal provisions and the jurisprudence of the national courts regarding the practices of religious agents for the election of their representatives in the formal instances of power. The method used was documentary and bibliographical research, as well as consultation with official jurisprudence repositories. The greater relevance of the law in certain subjects was found, namely, donations of goods for campaigns, electoral propaganda and abuse of religious power. In the end, a greater permeability of the law to other sciences is proposed so that areas subject to conflict can be identified and appropriate solutions can be proposed.

Abstract:
One can increasingly observe the mobilization of religious organizations to influence politics and law, thus making use of institutional instruments to participate in power. This work aims to investigate the legal provisions and the jurisprudence of the national courts regarding the practices of religious agents for the election of their representatives in the formal instances of power. The method used was documentary and bibliographical research, as well as consultation with official jurisprudence repositories. The greater relevance of the law in certain subjects was found, namely, donations of goods for campaigns, electoral propaganda and abuse of religious power. In the end, a greater permeability of the law to other sciences is proposed so that areas subject to conflict can be identified and appropriate solutions can be proposed.
