The Constitutional Court of Portugal (Tribunal Constitucional) is the supreme constitutional jurisdiction of the Portuguese Republic, tasked with assessing the constitutionality of laws and international treaties. It also oversees electoral processes, registers political parties, and scrutinizes the financial declarations of public officials.
