Abstract:
The article examines the effects of the change in the number of municipal councilors in Brazilian municipalities, in the 2004 elections, on political representation. The experimental method is used. It reveals that the effects are the increase of the disproportionality of the electoral system and the party concentration, but in levels that do not take away its fundamental characteristics, especially the maintenance of the multiparty system. It also examines the regional distribution of these effects.
