Abstract: The text aims to analyze the consequences and behaviors that emerge from electoral legislation, focusing on the changes that are being raised in the context of political reform to try to reduce corruption and unethical practices in general. Three measures are further examined: public campaign funding, prohibition of re-election and district vote. To do so, we will use the instruments of Economic Analysis of Law, especially economic theory of crime, rational choice theory, game theory and the concept of adverse selection. The conclusion reached is that the effects of the reform will be minimized or mitigated because society keeps not having mechanisms to discourage bad practices. If the changes do not involve stronger institutions, there is a risk of changing the rules of the game without changing the players' behavior.
