In Campo Grande, political representation is divided into executive and legislative powers.
As an administratively autonomous unit, subject to the Constitution of Mato Grosso do Sul and the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, it develops and implements activities that guide the city's daily life, such as the budget and the master plan.
The Executive Branch is represented by the Mayor and his Cabinet of Secretaries, following the model proposed by the Federal Constitution.
[2][3] In addition to the legislative process and the work of the secretariats, there are also a series of municipal councils, each of them dealing with different themes, compulsorily composed of representatives from the various sectors of organized civil society.
[4] With a municipal population larger than states like Acre, Amapá and Roraima, it is not surprising that the Campo Grande elections are very competitive and aimed at newcomers to politics.
