1947

In 1945, in Distrito Federal, Luiz Carlos Prestes (PCB) and Hamilton de Lacerda Nogueira (UDN) were elected to the Senate, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE).

2 seats in the Federal Senate, split among 2 parties.

PCBPartido Comunista do Brasil150.00%
UDNUNIÃO Democrática Nacional150.00%

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.

Votes by party (all, including those that elected no one)

Each party by its total votes (candidate votes + party-list votes), including those that won no seat.

In this election each federative unit chose TWO senators. The Federal Senate is not renewed all at once: every four years one third of the seats goes to a vote (one per state) and, four years later, two thirds (two per state). In two-seat years voters chose two different names, which is why the sum of the votes exceeds the number of voters who turned out: in 2010 there were 173,007,018 valid votes for 111,038,684 voters who turned out. It is not a counting error or a double count: a single voter could produce up to two valid votes. In one-seat years the ratio goes back to normal and valid votes fall below turnout, because blank and null votes and abstentions are left out of the count.

Until 1960 the Federal District was the city of Rio de Janeiro. The candidates for deputy, senator and city councillor registered as "DF" in these elections ran there. When the capital moved to Brasília in 1960, the former Federal District became the state of Guanabara, which appears in this database from 1960 to 1974, when it was merged into the state of Rio de Janeiro.
