In 2014, José Serra (PSDB) won the Senate election for São Paulo, with 57.92% 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.
One candidacy on this list had its votes annulled, according to data from the TSE: it appears at the end, with the votes entered on the voting machines (the machine tally report), without a percentage and outside the ranking of valid votes, because these votes are not part of the valid votes. The tag next to it shows the status of the candidacy registration in the TSE data, which may still change with a decision by the Electoral Courts.

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.
