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).

2020

In 2016, the TSE published the results for 5,562 city councils, with 57,842 city councillors elected. PMDB elected the most city councillors (7,554), followed by PSDB (5,357) and PP (4,740). In votes, the party with the most votes was PMDB, with 9.9 million votes (9.37% of the votes, counting votes for candidates and votes cast only for the party label). Among the state capitals, the most votes for city councillor went to Eduardo Suplicy (PT), in São Paulo, with 301,446 votes.

City Councillor is elected city by city. The number next to the abbreviation is how many cities in the state held this election.

This is not a chamber. These are 5,562 city councils added together: the number measures how many city councillors the party elected nationwide, not a caucus that meets together. Each council has its own quotient, so there is no single quotient to show here. It appears on each city's page. The party at the election counts: anyone who switched parties after taking office does not change this number.

The most voted city councillor in each state capital. To see everyone elected in a city, open the city's page. The Distrito Federal has no city councillors.
