In 2006, Eduardo Suplicy (PT) won the Senate election for São Paulo, with 47.82% of the valid votes, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
Majority race: whoever gets the most votes wins, with no party quotient. The Senate renews two thirds and one third of its seats in alternating elections: that is why the number of seats changes from one election to the next.
The table above already includes every year from 1994 onward. To see an election before 1994, choose the year in All elections in São Paulo.
Registered voters: voters who could vote. Turnout: how many went to the polls. Abstentions: how many stayed away (registered voters − turnout). Blank and Null: those who turned out but did not choose a valid candidate. Valid: the votes that count for candidates (turnout − blank − null); percentages are calculated on them.
3 seats in the Federal Senate: the whole chamber, adding up 2 elected in 2002 and 1 elected in 2006.

Elected seats, from the TSE results. This is the composition that came out of the ballot boxes, not the one the chamber had over the legislative term: anyone who switched parties after the election does not change this number. The count adds up those elected, without recalculating the quotient, so it matches the legal size of the chamber. A single party has an absolute majority.
