Resumo: In recent years a number of open data movements have emerged around the world, ensuring citizens more opportunities to access information, transparency being a factor associated with trust in public organizations and government. The transparency in algorithms translates into the knowledge of the steps performed and the criteria adopted to obtain a certain result. The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of transparency and accountability of the Brazilian electronic voting system. Through the case study, recommendations and good practices of transparency in algorithms were examined with the particularities of the Brazilian electronic voting system, which provides control and oversight to society. This study advances the discussion on the influence of new technologies on democracy, placing the Brazilian electronic voting system within the limits of transparency and accountability of algorithms and the government in general.

La transparencia en los algoritmos se traduce en el conocimiento de los pasos realizados y los criterios adoptados para obtener un resultado determinado. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar las características de transparencia y responsabilidad del sistema electoral electrónico brasileño. A través del estudio de caso, las recomendaciones y las buenas prácticas de transparencia se confrontaron con las particularidades del sistema electoral electrónico brasileño, que proporciona control y supervisión por parte de la sociedad en algoritmos. Este estudio avanza en la discusión sobre la influencia de las nuevas tecnologías en la democracia, colocando el sistema electoral electrónico brasileño dentro de los límites de transparencia y responsabilidad de los algoritmos y del gobierno en general.Nos últimos anos, uma série de movimentos de dados abertos tem surgido ao redor do mundo, assegurando aos cidadãos mais oportunidades para acessar informações, sendo a transparência um fator associado à confiança nas organizações públicas e no governo. A transparência em algoritmos traduz-se no conhecimento dos passos realizados e critérios adotados para a obtenção de determinado resultado. O objetivo deste estudo consiste em identificar as características de transparência e accountability do sistema eletrônico de votação brasileiro. Por meio do estudo de caso, foram confrontadas recomendações e boas práticas de transparência - que propiciam controle e fiscalização por parte da sociedade em algoritmos - com as particularidades do sistema de votação eletrônico brasileiro. Este estudo avança na discussão da influência das novas tecnologias na democracia, situando o sistema eletrônico de votação brasileiro nos limites da transparência e accountability de algoritmos e do governo em geral.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2020-11-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8241810.1590/1679-395120190023Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 18 No. Special (2020); 697-712Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 18 Núm.
