How does the pandemic affects elections?

In this article (in Portuguese), I evaluate the scientific evidence about the impact of Covid-19 on worldwide elections, to think how might they apply to the Brazilian 2020 local elections.

The article was published on the “Electoral Observatory” section of UOL, a Brazilian news website, on October, 15th, 2020.
