What it requires
- Disclose, explicitly, prominently, and accessibly, when electoral advertising uses synthetic content generated by AI or equivalent technology to create, replace, omit, merge, alter the speed of, or overlay images or sounds, and name the technology used.
- Place that disclosure at the start of an audio piece, or as a watermark label with audio description on a static image, or in both forms for a video or combined audio-video piece.
- This duty does not reach ordinary image- or sound-quality adjustments, graphic identity elements, or customary campaign marketing techniques such as composite photos.
- Do not publish, republish or pay to boost new synthetic content produced or altered by AI or equivalent technology that uses the image, voice or statement of a candidate or a public figure, even where labeled, from 72 hours before to 24 hours after the end of the election.
- Provide, where an internet application provider offers paid boosting of political-electoral content, a specific field in which the advertiser declares the use of AI or equivalent technology.

What this law does
Article 9º-B, inserted into Resolução TSE nº 23.610/2019 by Resolução TSE nº 23.732/2024, requires that any use in electoral advertising of synthetic multimedia content generated by AI or equivalent technology, to create, replace, omit, merge, alter the speed of, or overlay images or sounds, carry an explicit, prominent, and accessible disclosure that the content was fabricated or manipulated and which technology was used.
Paragraph 1 requires that disclosure at the start of audio pieces, by a watermark label and audio description for static images, and in both forms for video or combined audio-video pieces. Paragraph 2 excludes image- or sound-quality adjustments, graphic identity elements, and customary marketing techniques such as composite campaign photos from the duty.
Paragraph 3-A, added by Resolução TSE nº 23.755, de 2 de março de 2026, bars the publication and republication, even free of charge, and the paid boosting of new synthetic content produced or altered by AI or equivalent technology that uses the image, voice or statement of a candidate or a public figure, even where labeled, from 72 hours before to 24 hours after the end of the election.
Paragraph 5, added by the same resolution, requires an internet application provider that offers paid boosting of political-electoral content to provide a specific field in which the advertiser declares the use of AI or equivalent technology. The duty binds whoever is responsible for the advertising, which reaches a candidate, party, federation, or coalition, or a service that generates or places AI content on their behalf.
