Eleição in Brazil

Year

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

All elections35 anos in Brazil, de 1933 a 2026

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).

2022
All 53 elected in BrazilSenators, by state and by partySenator in every election ›

In 2018, 53 senators were elected in 27 federative units, according to data from Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE). In Mato Grosso, one of the elected senators had her term revoked by the Electoral Courts and the seat was filled in a special election; that is why the list shows one name from the state. MDB elected the most senators in this election (7), followed by PP (5) and REDE (5). Together with those elected in 2014, they make up the 81 seats of the Senate. In votes, the PT candidates added up to 24.8 million votes (14.57% of the votes cast for Senate candidates in this election).

81 seats in the Federal Senate: the whole chamber, adding up 27 elected in 2014 and 54 elected in 2018.

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.

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 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.

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.
