SUMMARY:

Faced with the observation of the under-representation of women in spaces of power, especially in politics in our country, this research proposes to analyze the application of gender affirmative actions in proportional elections in the municipality of Camaçari-BA, in the period between 2016 and 2020, with the objective of understanding how gender quotas, applied to candidacies and electoral campaign financing resources, contributed to the participation of women in the Camaçari parliament, in the mentioned period. To this end, a qualitative and quantitative methodology was used, through a literature review, collection and analysis of statistical data and public documents from the candidacies and the accounts of the candidates, available on the candidacy and statistics portal of the Superior Electoral Court, as well as in the unified public consultation portal of the Electronic Judicial Process system. After collecting and analysis of these data, in the light of feminist epistemology, it was possible to verify that, although gender quotas were formally fulfilled in the last two proportional elections in the municipality of Camaçari, women managed to achieve a small expansion of their representation in 2020, but the candidates with the highest number of votes did not receive funds from the Special Electoral Campaign Fund or the Party Fund. On the other hand, the candidates who received the largest transfers of the said funds obtained very low votes, increasing the average cost of voting with public resources, which possibly demonstrates evidence of alleged deviation of purpose in the application of these public resources, which are intended to encourage the inclusion of women and black people candidacies, essential pillars for building an egalitarian and plural democracy.
