Portuguese term or phrase: Programa Eleitoral (gratuito)...
As this is a Brazilian way of doing political advertising, how can I describe this in an intelligible way to American readers? Political Advertising on TV...Doesn't seem to be very appropriate. Any ideas?
Thanks....

unpaid political ad / free air time
Explanation:
It depends on the context: If it's a single spot, then we would call it an "unpaid political ad"; if it's a repeated situation, we'd call it "free political advertising" or "free air time." At MoveOn.org see a discussion about raising money to air a TV ad.

No "advertising" in this case, but "advertisement".
The "unpaid" part is up to you. I do not think it is necessary.
