TL;DR

- PDT will propose that the PSB also join the federation.
- The Renovação Solidária federation seeks TSE approval to combine votes to meet the barrier clause.
- If formed, the federation would see a significant increase in representation in the Chamber of Deputies and Senate.
- The impact on municipal representation would also be substantial, with a projected increase in mayors.
- Federations were established as an intermediate solution between coalitions and party fusions following the 2017 political reform.
- The barrier clause requires parties to achieve 2.5% of national valid votes for federal deputies or elect at least 13 federal deputies across nine states.
