A candidate’s ads are attributed through the TSE register (the mandatory electoral byline, the ballot name or a declared handle), measured at 98.5% correct ids. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints in BRL. Candidates with no attributable page are absent, so a state’s figures are a floor. See the methodology.
