The dashed year didn't have this election here: it opens the closest office, written below.

No result in Piauí: in all of Brazil

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).

1958

In 1954, in Piauí, Leonidas de Castro Melo and Matias Olímpio de Melo were elected to the Senate, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE).

The TSE does not publish the party of those elected in this election, so there is no composition to show. None of the seats has a registered party.

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.
