Congressmen claim that the change fulfills a decision of the Supreme Court (STF) on the subject. In August 2023, the Court determined that the number of federal deputies per federative unit would be readjusted to the population measured by the 2022 census.

No state will lose representatives in the House, and nine will win. They are Pará and Santa Catarina, who will have four deputies each other; Amazonas, Mato Grosso and Rio Grande do Norte, which will earn two each; and Goiás, Ceará, Paraná and Minas Gerais, who will have one more deputy each.
