Why thousands of Brazilian politicians changed their race last year CNN 3 hrs ago © leah abucayan/cnn/getty Last year, more than 43,400 politicians in Brazil declared themselves to be a different race than in previous election years. Since 2014, Brazil has required electoral candidates to declare their color/race, picking from among Black, White, Brown, Yellow, and Indigenous. A CNN analysis of data published by the Electoral Justice, which organizes elections, shows that one in four candidates who ran for office in a previous election declared a different color/race in 2020 from previous such filings. The changes in politicians self-identification reflect Brazil s rich diversity and mirror the country s evolving view on how to recognize and define demographic categories throughout its history. They also coincide with a new electoral rule that directs additional funding and visibility to Black and Brown candidates campaigns.
