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 1996, 31 cities had a mayoral runoff, 14 of them state capitals, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). PMDB, PPB and PSB elected the most state capital mayors in the runoff, 3 each.
Only the states with cities that went to a runoff in this election appear.
Mayor is elected city by city. The number next to the abbreviation is how many cities in the state held this election.
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.
The TSE did not publish valid or null votes in 1996, so the percentage of valid votes is not shown.
5,407 city halls, split among 22 parties.
This is not a chamber. Each race here has a single winner; the bar adds up how many city halls each party won nationwide, which measures the party's strength in that election, not a caucus that meets together. Where there was a runoff, its result counts, and each place is counted only once. The total does not add up to 5,408: in 1 the TSE records no one elected: cases of a rejected registration or a dispute still being judged. And this total does not reach the number of municipalities in the country either: the Distrito Federal and Fernando de Noronha do not elect a mayor, and some municipalities had their election annulled and voted only in a supplementary election, counted separately. The party at the election counts: anyone who switched parties after taking office does not change this number.
Only the state capitals that had a runoff appear. In the others, the mayor was elected in the first round. For another city, use the search above.
Sum of the votes of the candidates each party ran in the runoff, nationwide. Where the party backed a candidate from another party, those votes count for the other party; so the sum measures the strength of the party's own candidacies, not of the whole party.
