Câmara Municipal de Castelo

What Câmara Municipal de Castelo does

Câmara Municipal de Castelo is the legislative branch of the municipality of Castelo in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, exercising constitutionally-mandated municipal lawmaking, oversight of the executive branch, and citizen representation. It comprises 11 council members (vereadores) organized under a Mesa Diretora, currently led by President Edimar Celin for the 2025-2026 biennium. The chamber operates from its headquarters at Av. Getúlio Vargas, 118 in downtown Castelo, holding plenary sessions every Tuesday at 6:00 PM.

The chamber's technology footprint consists of a unified e-government digital platform whose core modules — e-SIC (Electronic Information Access Service), e-OUV (Municipal Ombudsman), and the Portal da Transparência — are developed and maintained by third-party vendor AlphaTec. These systems collectively fulfill the chamber's obligations under the Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI - Law 12.527/2011) and Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD - Law 13.709/2018). Supporting modules include a legislative process management system (Sistema Legislativo), an online legislation database, and an internal intranet. Accessibility is delivered through integrations with NVDA (screen reader) and VLibras (Brazilian Sign Language translator), conforming to federal e-MAG and WCAG standards.

The entity operates on a non-commercial public-sector model funded entirely through allocations from the municipal budget (orçamento municipal), with no fees charged for legislative services. It exercises disciplined fiscal management, returning R$1.5 million in 2021 and R$2.5 million in 2023 of unspent allocations to the municipality. Oversight is provided by the Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Espírito Santo, which awarded the chamber its Selo Ouro (Gold Seal) in 2024 for transparency and accountability compliance. Citizens access services through the official website (cmcastelo.es.gov.br), YouTube broadcasts of plenary sessions, and physical attendance.
