This article analyzes the phenomenon of liquid democracy, post-truth and the effects of fake news in the Brazilian electoral process and its interconnections with the right to freedom of expression. A bibliographical research was carried out, combining the reflections elaborated by Bauman (2001) and Levitsky and Ziblatt (2018) on the phenomenon of liquid democracy and the effects of fake news in the Brazilian electoral process. In the first section, a historical outline of the Brazilian political-electoral process was carried out. In the second section, reflections were made on the concept of liquid democracy and how social networks and other contemporary means of communication can interfere with people's political positioning. In the third and last section, we sought to analyze how Brazilian constitutional and electoral law has regulated the phenomenon of mass dissemination of false news in the electoral process, since this type of phenomenon is capable of interfering in the electoral process, eliminating the parity of weapons and the balance of candidacies. It is concluded that certain social actors are capable of taking fake news as truth if it is not verified in a timely manner, therefore, it is necessary to study what is the impact on their public and individual opinion
