A vereador is a local government official in Brazil, similar to a city councilor. They are elected by the residents of a municipality to represent their interests and make decisions on local laws and policies. The role of a vereador includes proposing new legislation, discussing community issues, and overseeing the implementation of municipal projects. Vereadores work within the Câmara Municipal, which is the legislative body of the city. Their responsibilities also involve attending meetings, engaging with constituents, and collaborating with other officials, such as the prefeito (mayor), to improve the quality of life in their communities.
