The database starts in 1933 (the first election under the Electoral Courts), so the First Republic is left out; and it only includes those who won at the polls: presidents and governors who took office as vice, or through an indirect election, appear in the collection of presidents when relevant, but not in the list of elected governors. For elections before 1994, Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) does not publish the voter registration number, so the profile of some older names may show only the term from that time, not the whole career. Guanabara (1960–1975) appears because it elected a governor before being merged into Rio.
