Responsibilities

The operation of the regional electoral courts is governed by law 4.737 of 1965.[1] Each court consists of judges that are publicly elected or nominated by part of the judiciary, according to rules set independently by each regional court.

According to law, the regional courts are responsible for control and inspection of the whole electoral process in their jurisdiction, from the registration of regional branches of political parties, to the production of reports and electoral maps[clarify] during vote counting.

The regional courts are responsible for voter registration, for constitution[

electoral districts
and for reporting the results. The regional courts also settle disputes regarding elections and handle appeals of the decisions of the electoral judges.

Each regional court has the freedom to make their own rules with regard to how these things are handled.
