State Deputy · 1934 · São Paulo

In 1934, in São Paulo, 60 state deputies were elected, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). The most votes went to Dante Delmanto, with 9,367 votes (14.29% of the votes). The lowest vote total among those elected was 7,318 votes.

The "second round" for deputies in the 1933 and 1934 elections did not mean voters went back to the polls on another date, but rather a complex method of counting votes on the same ballot, established by the 1932 Electoral Code. In that system of "two simultaneous rounds", citizens voted by writing a list of several names on the ballot. The first round counted only the first name on that list, and those votes were used to distribute seats proportionally among the parties that reached the electoral quotient. Since that calculation almost always left seats empty (the so-called "remainders"), the second round was held right away, counting the other names the voter had written on the same ballot. Those remaining seats were then filled by the candidates with the most votes in that second count, using simple majority. It was therefore a mixed counting system (proportional and majoritarian) carried out all at once on the same voting day, a mechanism that no longer exists in later Brazilian electoral law.
