TL;DR
- The Psol and Rede federation did not meet the barrier clause for the 2026 elections, missing it by 185 votes.
- This failure means they will not have access to party and electoral funds or television time starting in 2027.
- The federation needed to achieve 2.5% of valid national votes for federal deputy, distributed in at least nine states with a minimum of 1.5% in each.
- They surpassed the national 2.5% threshold, largely due to strong performance in São Paulo, but only met the 1.5% minimum in eight states.
- The federation achieved the minimum percentage in Ceará, Distrito Federal, Minas Gerais, Pará, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo.
- Espírito Santo was the closest state to reaching the goal, with the federation achieving 1.49% of the valid votes, a deficit of 185 votes.
- Votes in Bahia (1.08%) and Santa Catarina (0.99%) were also below the required minimum.
- The final result could still change if electoral courts annul votes, potentially altering the total valid vote count and proportionately increasing the federation's percentage.
