Suffragium – Journal of the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará is a biannual publication, with free and free access to its content, intended for the dissemination of unpublished scientific productions, in the scope of Electoral Law and Political Science, authored or co-authored by professors doctors, respecting the criterion of exogeny and the double blind peer review system.
It appeared as a printed magazine on June 27, 2005, pursuant to Resolution TRE-CE No. 263, dated June 27, 2005, replacing the TRE-CE Newsletter, at the time. After the advent of Resolution TRE-CE No. 660, of April 4, 2017, it was reformulated, transcending the area of Electoral Law, also covering the field of Political Science, in order to establish an effective contact between the two ambiences, bringing to light the contribution of political scientists and jurists regarding the confrontation of current Brazilian issues in the electoral political and legal field.
Currently, the Suffragium magazine is presented in an exclusively electronic format, available through the portal of the Regional Electoral Court of Ceará, in the menu “O TRE/Publicações/Suffragium Revista Eletrônica” or directly on the page http://suffragium.tre-ce. jus.br/suffragium.
