On October 10, 2023, more than 200,000 Brazilian architects and urban planners will choose their representatives for CAU Brasil and CAU/UF for the 2024–2026 term.
Activities related to the 2023 CAU Elections begin on January 1, starting with a campaign to update professional registration data, ensuring everyone can vote and run for office. The deadline to complete the update is May 31.
Upon accessing SICCAU, the system will display a message requesting professionals to update their registration details.
By clicking the "Click here" link, the system will redirect to the home screen of the legacy SICCAU. Professionals or companies must then click the "Confirm data" button to complete the registration update.
Participating in the CAU elections is essential for architecture and urban planning professionals to collaborate and influence the Council's decisions, particularly as federal or state councilors, should they run for office and be elected.
Also in January, the CAU Brasil Plenary will select the members of the National Electoral Commission, which will be responsible for overseeing the entire process of electing new councilors.
In June, a national meeting will be held with the Electoral Commissions of CAU/UF to outline the rules of the election and clarify any questions regarding candidate registration and voting in each state.
The CAU Election Calendar was approved by federal councilors during the 129th Ordinary Plenary Meeting of CAU Brasil, on October 20, 2022.
