party acronym

sigla identificadora do partido politico - It looks to me like a party acronym. In Brazil, most patries are known by their acronyms, eg PT, PCB, PFL, PMDB etc.

abbreviated party name

Legenda partidária
É a denominação abreviada do partido político, conforme exigência da Lei nº 9.096/95, em seu artigo 15, inciso I*. É formada pela primeira letra (ou mais de uma) de cada uma das partes sucessivas de seu nome. Formam-se tais designações pelo processo que, na língua portuguesa, se conhece como acrônimo, isto é, pela "palavra formada pela primeira letra (ou mais de uma) de cada uma das partes sucessivas de uma locução ou pela maioria das partes. Ex.: sonar [<so(und) na(vigation) r(anging)]." "Dicionário Aurélio Eletrônico"

(recognized) political parties

Votes are given to political parties, not to abbreviations.

Proportional representation (PR) is a concept in voting systems used to elect an assembly or council. PR means that the number of seats won by a party or group of candidates is proportionate to the number of votes received. For example, under a PR voting system if 30% of voters support a particular party then roughly 30% of seats will be won by that party.
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation

The Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties have fulfilled all the requirements in R.S. 18:441 and are now recognized political parties.

Thanks, Lais.
neutral Douglas Bissell : I do have to agree with your very logical argument. No-one votes for abbreviations. If only source texts were always locical and well-written our jobs would be so much easier

That they would (TTW).

Thanks, Ana, including for the excellent reference. In Brazil, /legenda/ is often a synonym for /partido/.
