How to read
Elected is whoever the TSE declared elected: Radar do Voto does not redo the seat calculation. Each office appears on this page as soon as the TSE declares the winners for that office in Rio Grande do Norte, and the numbers come in with the TSE final count. Candidacies whose registration is still under review (sub judice) are marked and are never removed from the list. Certification and rulings by the electoral courts can still change the result.
Radar do Voto gathers and organizes public data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) and is not a primary source. If there is any discrepancy, the TSE data prevails.
