Abstract: How have political polarization and ideological disputes affected political behavior in Rio Grande do Norte between 2014 and 2024? This question guides this study through a case analysis of party affiliations and electoral results in Rio Grande do Norte in light of nationally relevant political events. For data collection, the research database of the Superior Electoral Court was used to achieve the following objectives: to analyze the relationship between electoral behavior in Rio Grande do Norte and the national political landscape, and to understand the dynamics of party affiliations and their relationship with ideological identification. The results obtained from the descriptive statistical analysis indicate a crystallization of ideological disputes and political polarization in Rio Grande do Norte, as evidenced by party affiliations and electoral outcomes. Additionally, it is observed that party and ideological identification may be a significant factor in party affiliations.
