PECs that limit the power of the Armed Forces, establish administrative reform and determine the end of the 6×1 scale should only advance after 2026
In an election year in Brazil, the tendency is for Congress to postpone the analysis of some PECs (Proposed Amendments to the Constitution) to focus on electoral strongholds and postpone the vote for 2027. The President of the Chamber, (Republicanos-PB), has already made statements about prioritizing proposals with greater consensus and avoiding sensitive topics.

- PEC of administrative reform
- PEC that limits the power of the Armed Forces
- PEC of Central Bank autonomy

PEC LIMITING THE POWER OF THE ARMED FORCES
As They are historically a sector sensitive to structural changes, especially in election years. Therefore, the PEC that changes article 142 of the Constitution should be until 2027, according to the rapporteur, deputy (PT-SP).

END OF SCALE 6X1
The president (PT) treats the as a government priority. Planalto assesses that the proposal has popular appeal and can mobilize the electoral base in the 2026 campaign. The Executive’s strategy is to vote on the issue in the 1st semester to generate political dividends for re-election.
To speed up the process, the government considered sending a bill with constitutional urgency; in this model, the Chamber would have up to 45 days to analyze the text. However, the scenario changed after the president of the Chamber on February 9, 2026 to the CCJ the PEC that deals with the reduction of working hours.
In this format, processing tends to be slower. After passing through the CCJ, the text will still need to be analyzed by a special commission before going to the Chamber plenary. The rite could hinder the government’s strategy of speeding up voting.
On the one hand, Motta stated that he intends to take the proposal to the . On the other hand, even if it is approved by deputies, the text will still need to pass the Senate. Opposition congressmen evaluate the possibility of the analysis to prevent the government from politically capitalizing on the measure in an election year.
