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).

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.

Each senator is elected in their own state. This list brings together those elected in all states only to make it easier to look them up. Since states differ in size, the votes cannot be compared directly.

Registered voters94,710,636
Turned out77,920,633
Abstentions16,790,003
Blank43,395,115

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 1994, so the percentage of valid votes is not shown.

Choose a state above to see all candidates. Senator is elected by state: each state has its own race, and the national result is their sum.

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.
