| dbo:abstract | The so-called Saraiva Law (Portuguese: Lei Saraiva), officially Decree No. 3,029 of 9 January 1881, was the law that reformed the electoral system in the Empire of Brazil, instituting, for the first time, the elector registration in the country, and the direct elections for all elective positions: senators, deputies to the General Assembly, members of the Provincial Legislative Assemblies, municipal councilors and justices of the peace, but prohibited the illiterate to vote, which significantly reduced the number of people eligible to vote as most of the country's population was illiterate. The law also established that immigrants, in particular merchants and small industrialists, as well as those who were not Catholics, the official religion of the Empire, could be elected, provided they had an annual income of no less than two hundred thousand réis. The final drafter of the law was general deputy Ruy Barbosa. The law's name was a tribute to councilor José Antônio Saraiva, then President of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister) of Brazil, who was responsible for the biggest electoral reform in the country until then (Saraiva Cabinet of 1880). (en) A Lei Saraiva, Decreto nº 3 029, de 9 de janeiro de 1881, foi a lei que instituiu, pela primeira vez, o Título de Eleitor, proibiu o voto de analfabetos e adotou eleições diretas para todos os cargos eletivos do Império brasileiro: senadores, deputados à Assembleia Geral, membros das Assembleias Legislativas Provinciais, vereadores e juízes de paz. A determinação estabeleceu ainda que os imigrantes de outras nações, em particular comerciantes e pequenos industriais, e também os que não fossem católicos, religião oficial do Império, poderiam se eleger, desde que possuísse renda não inferior a duzentos mil réis. O redator final da lei foi o deputado-geral Rui Barbosa. Deveu-se tal denominação à homenagem feita ao Conselheiro José Antônio Saraiva, então Presidente do Conselho de Ministros, que foi o responsável pela maior reforma eleitoral do país até então (Gabinete Saraiva de 1880).
