AbstractHolding general elections in Brazil is a politicalpractice that has existed for almost two hundred years. However, since then there have been few historiographical works dedicated to the elections that occurred in the first decades of the 19th century. Therefore, we seek in the article to understand the impact that the first legislative electoral determinations had on the redefinition of the territorial and political space of Bahia. During the period from 1824 to 1834, three elections were held, the organization of which brought about changes in the definition of the territorial space of Bahia, leading to the creation of new electoral districts centers as well as judicial districts. These changes resulted from the positioning of voters and electors, whose claims and submitted proposals aimed at ensuring conditions to exercise their rights and to guarantee that they would be able to choose the political representatives to occupy the posts in the provincial and general spheres.
