The dashed year didn't have this election here: it opens the closest office, written below.
G é Eleição Geral: presidente, governador, senador e deputados. L é Eleição Local (municipal): prefeito e vereador. De 1933 a 1990 o TSE não publica cargo municipal, então esses anos são todos G.
The same office appears twice in the year a place voted on a different date from the rest of the country (because of a postponement, for example).
In 1978, 420 federal deputies were elected in 25 federative units, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). ARENA elected 231 and MDB, 189. The most votes in the country for federal deputy went to Waldemiro Teixeira (MDB-RJ), with 536,661 votes.
420 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, split among 2 parties.
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.
Each party by its total votes (candidate votes + party-list votes), including those that won no seat.
The most voted in each state, brought together only for reference. The seat is first allotted to the party (electoral quotient), and larger states have more voters, so the numbers cannot be compared directly.
The 10 with the most votes in the country. The percentage is of the valid votes in each one's state.
Choose a state above to see all candidates. Federal Deputy is elected by state: each state has its own race, and the national result is their sum.
Only two parties ran in these elections: ARENA and MDB. The previous party system was abolished by Institutional Act No. 2 of 1965, and Complementary Act No. 4 established that only two organizations could register candidates. The multiparty system was restored by the 1979 reform, and this database records 5 parties in 1982 and 29 in 1986.
