Senate

In 2026, each state elected two senators, and each voter voted for two candidates. In Santa Catarina, the TSE final count at 9:55 p.m. on Oct 4, 2026 gave the seats to Carol de Toni (PL, coalition REPUBLICANOS / PODE / PL / DC / NOVO / AGIR / AVANTE / CIDADANIA / PSDB), with 2,694,918 votes and Carlos Bolsonaro (PL, coalition REPUBLICANOS / PODE / PL / DC / NOVO / AGIR / AVANTE / CIDADANIA / PSDB), with 2,041,840 votes.

Since each voter has two votes, each candidate's percentage is of the valid votes for the office, which add up both votes of each voter.

State deputy

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 Santa Catarina, 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.
